Today Doug opens the container with Chad Brown to discuss changing the narrative around conservation.
Filmmaker Chad Brown is a passionate advocate for environmental justice and founder of the nonprofit Love Is King. During this conversation he discusses the intersection of conservation and social justice, emphasizing that true conservation must recognize the sacredness of land and its cultural significance.
Chad highlights the importance of diverse voices in the conservation movement, particularly those of BIPOC leaders who have historically been marginalized. He shares insights from his latest film, Resilience Rising: Echoes of Owhyee Canyonlands, which captures the journey of five BIPOC leaders as they explore and connect with the land's deep history and significance. Chad also reflects on the healing power of nature in his own life, particularly as a veteran dealing with PTSD.
The discussion culminates in a powerful reminder that actions taken today shape the world for future generations, reinforcing the idea that love and community are essential in the fight for justice and preservation of our natural spaces.
