Launched in 2013, our Forces of Nature video interview series showcases 167 inspiring individuals whose long careers have made a positive impact on our environment, including new interviews with Stewart Brand and Susie Washington. Our growing collection presents personal stories, case studies, and gems of wisdom to inform and inspire a new generation of environmental advocates.

We are proud to announce that the project’s reach has surpassed our expectations. A whopping 553,611 people from over 147 countries have tuned in to our library of interviews with environmental elders.

There is still much to accomplish as we expand current themes such as environmental justice, climate change and traditional ecological knowledge; and select new interviewees who reflect and encourage the broadest coalition of voices for the protection and conservation of our natural resources.
