Nineteen-year-old artist Austin Picinich founded Save Our Salmon through Art (SOS) in 2021. This nonprofit uses public art to educate and empower communities to protect local salmon-spawning streams, many of which are blocked by urban culverts. Picinich was inspired after only three salmon returned to spawn in Juanita Creek near his home.

SOS hosts interactive mural painting events. Picinich designs salmon-themed murals, which volunteers and attendees complete during "SOS Community Days." These events have engaged nearly 750 painters and over 3,000 attendees, raising more than $28,000 for stream restoration and reaching almost a million people through awareness efforts.

Visionary naturalist Carl Safina suggests that understanding other species begins with observation and humility.

The "Rights of Nature" movement aims to protect rivers, mountains, and entire ecosystems by recognizing their inherent legal rights to exist, persist, flourish, and evolve, rather than treating them as property. This radical framework has gained global momentum, spreading from tribal lands to cities and nations.

In this session, activist attorneys Frank Bibeau, Thomas Linzey, and Samantha Skenandore, moderated by Alexis Bunten, will update us on their successes and challenges in Indian Country and beyond.

Enric Sala, a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, launched the Pristine Seas project in 2008. This initiative explores and inspires protection for the ocean's last wild places, crucial for global marine ecosystems. Sala, a former professor, leads a team of scientists and conservationists dedicated to this mission.

Pristine Seas combines exploration, research, and media, helping establish 25 of the world's largest marine reserves. These protected areas now cover over 6.5 million square kilometers. Sala emphasizes the critical importance of healthy oceans for humanity's future. This talk was delivered at the 2022 Bioneers Conference. Learn more at http://www.bioneers.org.
