'Climate, Culture, and Conservation' with Katie Orlinsky

Katie Orlinsky, National Geographic Photographer and Explorer, will share her powerful photographic work detailing her journey from conflict photographer to environmental storyteller on April 16.

From her early career as a conflict photographer to her transformation into an environmental storyteller, Orlinsky's images reveal the profound ways climate change is reshaping the relationship between people, animals, and the land.
A chance assignment in the Alaskan wilderness set her on a life-changing path, leading her to dedicate her work to capturing the front lines of climate change and biodiversity loss. Through breathtaking visuals and compelling narratives, Orlinsky brings to life the urgency of conservation and the resilience of communities facing environmental challenges. Don't miss this opportunity to experience the world through her lens and gain a deeper understanding of the intersection between climate, culture, and conservation.
