<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"inherit",serif;color:#1D2129">They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but how can images shape the ways we protect and relate to our changing climate and world? Throughout
her career as a photographer and writer, Becca Skinner has focused her camera lens on everything from post-natural disaster communities to the conservation of the outdoors, showing the relationship between humans and landscape. In this talk presented by the
Wilderness Institute, Skinner outlines highlights in her career--from her work as a National Geographic Young Explorer, to a lasting interest in protecting Western landscapes, to a mature knowledge of the value of images as tools for education and change in
an increasingly interconnected and media-heavy world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
