MAY 22-24, 2020 | Hosted by Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants

May 22nd is the International Day for Biological Diversity, celebrate with a virtual extravaganza featuring scientists, explorers and conservationists from across the globe!

The #GlobalBioFest is now live, free and online, with speakers today and throughout the weekend. Sven-Olof and I will have our time tomorrow at 2:30 pm EST, and will be exploring how sustainable travel supports conservation globally and how the international COVID-19 crisis is affecting conservation efforts on the ground in some of our favorite places. You can sign up online as well as check out the bios of over 50 speakers on topics concerning conservation, policy, science, exploration and more.

The Global Biodiversity Festival is a virtual weekend with a simple goal of bringing the amazing diversity of life on our planet, live into everyone’s home during these challenging times. From the 22nd – 24th of May, we'll share the amazing variety of life on our planet and the scientists, explorers, conservationists and filmmakers documenting and protecting it. We’ll highlight the weird and the wonderful, but also the conservation challenges, along with the good news success stories.

​The Global Biodiversity Festival is 100% free to join in. Our goal is to raise some money for some great conservation organizations around the world that do incredible work, but are being impacted by Covid-19. All we ask is that if you can, please make a donation, and all funds will be shared between the organizations.
