Bioneers 2025 Conference

Defending the Living World

Co-sponsored with the Safina Center’s Fellowship Programs

We will never be able to address climate change and ensure healthy, just human communities unless we protect and defend the entire web of life. The Safina Center, founded by renowned ecologist and author Carl Safina, has for more than 20 years drawn from science, art and literature to advance the case for Life on Earth. Among its most inspiring and effective endeavors are its senior and junior fellowship programs, which help support and highlight the work of a small cohort of brilliant early- and mid-career scientists, researchers, activists and artists whose work addresses conservation, the environment, and/or social justice in unique ways. This session will feature three recent, extraordinary Safina Fellows: Danielle Khan Da Silva, award-winning documentary photographer, director, conservation activist, founder/Executive Director of Photographers Without Borders, and co-founder of the Sumatran Wildlife Sanctuary; Jasmin Graham, a young shark scientist and environmental educator, President/CEO of Minorities in Shark Sciences, an organization dedicated to supporting gender minorities of color in shark sciences; Katlyn Taylor, passionate marine biologist and conservationist, naturalist, guide, and widely traveled Coast Guard licensed captain, co-creator of The Whalenerds Podcast.
