SUMMARY:Taking Your Nature Images From Good to Great
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nEven the best camera can’t match the sensitivity of the human eye for capturing the subtle beauty in the world we see\, but a little bit of editing can bring an image from good to great. Join Court Whelan for a behind-the-scenes look at photo editing\, arguably “the other half” of nature\, wildlife\, landscape and travel photography after the shutter has been pressed. While Court takes a minimalist approach to editing photos\, it’s an increasingly important step in today’s photography world based on how cameras record “raw” data. He will share tips for how to edit using some of the most popular and powerful editing tools: Photoshop\, Adobe Camera Raw\, and Lightroom. Court will review his “go-to” approaches and considerations when editing photos\, including tips and tricks for rescuing “bad” shots and taking the ordinary to extraordinary.

SUMMARY:Tigers: India’s Powerful Top Predators
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nAlthough they are still considered endangered\, India’s Bengal tiger population has increased by 33% in just the last six years\, to a current population estimate of 3\,000. There are still more tigers in captivity in the world than in the wild\, and popular shows like Tiger King can give a very inaccurate view of these powerful predators. In this webinar\, Expedition Leader Surya Ramachandran will discuss the behavior\, biology and ecology of wild tigers in India’s Ranthambore National Park\, a protected area that was once the private hunting grounds of the Rajasthani Maharajas. A growing tiger population also comes with the risk of increased conflict with humans\, and we will also learn what that means for communities living within tiger habitat.

SUMMARY:From the Coasts to the Cloud Forests: Costa Rica’s Mind-Boggling Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nFrom the crashing Pacific surf to the warm Caribbean coastline\, and from lowland rainforest to icy cloud forest on soaring volcanoes\, Costa Rica packs a lot of diversity into a relatively small country. Half a day’s drive can take you from dipping your toes in saltwater to crossing the Cerro de la Muerte at over 10\,000 feet. This narrow land bridge connected North and South America a mere 3 million years ago – a blink of an eye in geological time – and the wide range of habitats meant there was a place for everyone when species began crossing between the two continents. Learn how this critical location and wide range of habitats has made Costa Rica one of the most biodiverse countries in the world\, and how they became a model for using ecotourism to protect that phenomenal diversity. You will also find it hard to resist Costa Rican Expedition Leaders Alex Arias’ and Julio Madriz’s infectious love of their country.

SUMMARY:Lessons From the World's First Zero Waste Trip
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nLast summer\, Nat Hab Director of Sustainability Court Whelan and Erin Simon\, who heads up WWF’s plastic waste and packaging program\, embarked on an experiment with a group of Nat Hab travelers: could 12 travelers on the World’s First Zero Waste Adventure limit the refuse they created on a 7-day Yellowstone trip to fit into one quart-sized jar?  The goal was to refuse\, re-use\, recycle and compost in order to divert more than 99% of waste generated. Well\, guess what: they did it! No small feat\, considering the average American creates 4.4 pounds of trash each day. They also came away with practical lessons to guide us not only in reducing waste when we travel\, but at home as well. Join Court and Erin for an inspiring presentation on what’s possible when it comes to reducing our waste footprint. You’ll come away with lots of approaches to incorporate into your everyday life…and you’ll be amazed at how simple most of them are.

SUMMARY:Bears\, Belugas & Bright Nights: Churchill Through the Seasons
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nFor a tiny little frontier town inaccessible by road on the edge of Canada’s Hudson Bay\, Churchill sure has a lot to offer nature lovers through the year. Join veteran Churchill guide Annie Van Dinther for a virtual journey over the tundra\, into the taiga\, and to the mouth of the Churchill River as we discover Churchill in the fall\, winter and summer. (We take a hiatus from April to June…mud season!). Renowned as the Polar Bear Capital of the World\, Churchill is best known for its autumn polar bear encounters. Once the bay freezes and the bears head onto the ice to hunt\, we return in winter to search for the northern lights—Churchill offers some of the best aurora-viewing on the planet! And when the summer sun warms the coastal plain\, the tundra bursts with wildflowers\, beluga whales congregate by the hundreds\, and polar bears and other Arctic wildlife roam freely.

SUMMARY:China’s Changing Views on Nature and Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nWhile much of the world views China as a powerful consumer of nature and natural resources\, there is another side to the story. China’s success in saving the giant panda from the brink of extinction\, with the help of WWF\, is arguably the world’s greatest conservation story and could only be achieved through widespread appreciation of these charismatic animals. Will this love of the giant panda inspire the Chinese people to care for other aspects of nature as well\, as their influence on the world continues to grow? We will take a deep dive into how China’s perception of nature is changing\, largely engendered by its love of the giant panda. Nat Hab’s Chinese/Tibetan naturalist guide Philip He joins Brad Josephs live from Sichuan Province to help unravel mysteries of the giant panda and the attitudes and actions that might lead to even more conservation victories in China.

SUMMARY:Riding for Rhinos: Where the Rubber Meets the Road for Rhino Conservation
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nHow far will a South African conservationist go to help protect endangered rhinos? In 2017\, over the course of 63 days and 2\,008 miles\, Expedition Leader Matt Meyer rode his bicycle through Washington\, Oregon and California with a rhino statue in tow to raise awareness of the plight of these imperiled animals in Southern Africa. Along the way\, he raised over $150\,000 to support Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya\, Save the Rhino Trust in Namibia\, and Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary in South Africa. The large rhino he was towing drew attention everywhere he went\, and he had many opportunities to educate people about rhino conservation at schools\, in communities and through live interviews on TV\, radio and podcasts. In addition to sharing the story of his ride\, Matt offers insight into the biology\, behaviors and family dynamics of black and white rhinos in Africa.

SUMMARY:The Grizzlies of Yellowstone: A Conservation Triumph
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nRocky Mountain naturalist guide Aaron Bott shares the inspiring story of the grizzly bear’s revival in Yellowstone. Exterminated throughout most of the American West in the 19th and early 20th centuries\, grizzlies had nearly vanished from their native range. By the mid-1900s\, only a couple of small populations remained in Yellowstone and Glacier national parks. In 1975\, however\, grizzlies received protection under the Endangered Species Act and their fate began to reverse. Thanks to intensive conservation efforts since\, grizzly bear populations have been expanding\, and the ongoing grizzly recovery program is now considered one of the world’s great conservation stories. Aaron shares this riveting narrative\, with insight into all that’s been accomplished and what is still at stake for grizzlies in the Lower 48.

SUMMARY:Snow Leopards & Wildlife of the Himalayas
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nIn the austere heights of the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau\, an elusive feline thrives among the rocks and snowfields. Local people call the snow leopard the “ghost of the mountains\,” an apt moniker for this large cat that moves stealthily through the barren terrain\, camouflaged by its thick silver coat marked with black rosettes. Brad Josephs highlights the crucial role of conservation-focused tourism in sustaining the snow leopard population in northern India. He also introduces us to other charismatic Himalayan wildlife including the Tibetan wolf\, Pallas cat\, chiru (Tibetan antelope)\, wild yak and lammergeier (an Old World vulture with a 10-foot wingspan).

SUMMARY:Mountain Gorillas on the Rise: A Conservation Success Story
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nThe world’s mountain gorilla population has increased from approximately 250 to more than 1\,000 in the last 50 years due to heroic conservation efforts largely funded by tourism. The mountain gorilla\, which lives in the forested mountains of East Africa\, is the only great ape species with a growing population— a true sign of conservation success. However\, has mountain gorilla conservation been too successful? What does their increasing population mean in such a restricted range? Do we have to worry about inbreeding? Expedition Leader Mark Jordahl will discuss these important questions and more during this webinar on the still-endangered mountain gorillas of Uganda and Rwanda. He will also talk about the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these close cousins of ours\, and why conservation efforts need to be intimately tied to public health and economic development in the communities surrounding the gorilla parks\, in order to ensure their future survival.

SUMMARY:Mexico’s Gentle Giants: Protecting Humpback Whales
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nMexican Expedition Leader team Astrid and Karel call Puerto Vallarta home…and they’re here to introduce you to their offshore neighbors\, the humpback whales of Banderas Bay. These energetic whales often feed in large groups and are among the most vocal cetaceans\, known for their exuberant “singing.” Fifty feet long and weighing up to 40 tons\, they put on quite a show when they breach — leaping completely out of the water and landing with a mighty crash. But despite their size\, they aren’t impervious to threats\, including entanglement in fishing gear. Learn all about Mexico’s humpbacks with Astrid and Karel\, who fill us in on efforts to protect them in Banderas Bay\, as well as current research and conservation work on the humpbacks’ behalf.

SUMMARY:Meet Borneo’s Sun Bears & the Hero Saving Them from Extinction
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nNative only to the island of Borneo\, the cute\, fuzzy sun bear is the smallest of the world’s eight bear species. It’s facing big struggles from tropical forest loss\, illegal hunting for bear parts\, and poaching to obtain cubs for pet trade. But one man — Dr. Wong Siew Te – has almost single-handedly kept the sun bear from going extinct in the wild\, dedicating his life to their protection…and he joins us for today’s webinar live from Borneo! Expedition Leader Brad Josephs introduces Wong\, a personal hero and friend whom he calls “perhaps the world’s most dedicated and passionate conservationist.” We’ll hear the story of how Wong established the Borean Sun Bear Conservation Center\, which has helped realize his dream of releasing rehabilitated sun bears into the wild. While you may never even have heard of a sun bear before\, after hearing from Wong\, you’ll never forget them.

SUMMARY:Crossing Africa’s Okavango Delta on Foot
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nJoin Anthony Bennett for engrossing tales from his 80-mile walking safari in the Botswana wilderness. Anthony and three fellow safari guides made this self-supported trek over six days\, carrying heavy packs and rifles\, and wild-camping at impromptu locations each night. Their cross-country journey took them across private wildlife concessions in northern Botswana’s Linyanti ecosystem\, filled with lions\, hippos\, elephant\, rhino and Cape buffalo. The 2006 walk was a fundraiser for Children in the Wilderness\, an environmental education program to bring children from rural communities into wilderness areas to meet and learn about wildlife. Anthony and his colleagues reprised the walk in 2007 and 2008\, both times with guests. You’ll revel in Anthony’s stories – but the lasting importance of this dramatic undertaking is what it accomplished for local kids: by coming to know and appreciate wild creatures in one’s natural surroundings\, the seeds of caring and conservation take hold in a future generation.

SUMMARY:Madagascar: A Journey to the Eighth Continent
DESCRIPTION:Click to Register \nYou thought Earth had just seven continents? Madagascar is often referred to as the “eighth\,” given its utterly unique biodiversity\, with species that developed wholly in isolation once Madagascar broke away some 100 millions years ago from what would become Africa and India. Expedition Leader Matt Meyer and Richard de Gouveia introduce the unusual animals and plants of the world’s fourth largest island\, more than 80% of which are found nowhere else. Most famous are lemurs\, with more than 100 different varieties of this charming\, primitive primate found throughout the country’s diverse habitats. Conservation travel is crucial to preserving the dwindling forests that shelter so many of Madagascar’s critically endangered species\, and you’ll learn about the difference that responsible tourism makes in protecting these essential landscapes.
