Wildlife Rangers: Protecting our Natural Future
Thu Mar 6, 2025 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Patagonia Austin
Description
Have you ever stopped to think, “Who takes care of nature?” Join us for an inside look at the beautiful and challenging work of wildlife rangers across the world.
Our featured keynote will be given by Sean Willmore, Founder & Director of Thin Green Line Foundation, a 1% for the Planet Environmental Partner. A former Australian park ranger and past president of the International Ranger Federation, Sean has worked with rangers in over 80 countries on six continents. Experiencing the best and worst of what rangers deal with, Sean encountered many hair-raising situations with them along the way. His efforts to help his ranger colleagues and support their conservation work has shone a light on the sacrifice rangers and their families make to protect our natural world. Sean continues to be inspired by rangers working on the frontlines of conservation every day and he uses their inspiration for his work at Thin Green Line.
Sean's keynote will be preceded by brief remarks and an introduction by Jeffrey D. Stewart, Founder and Executive Director of Enharmonic Encounters LLC, a Certified B Corporation and 1% for the Planet Business Member.
Following the introduction and keynote, we'll have a social hour with snacks and beverages for attendees to connect and network with each other, and interact on a more personal level with Jeffrey and Sean.
We are proud to put on this event in collaboration with Patagonia, who
is graciously providing their space and the snacks and beverages for the social
hour following Sean's keynote. Together, we are leveraging the
intentional and purposeful connections cultivated through the 1% for the Planet
network to ensure our planet and future generations thrive.
