  • 2019 Annual Report
    Audubon Nature Institute 2019 Annual Report 1 From the President 2019 was a year to connect guests with Audubon’s mission of saving species—new exhibits, new ways to meet animals up close, and new additions to our animal family. At the Zoo we opened a new lion habitat and welcomed the birth of a critically endangered Sumatran orangutan. The Survival Center enjoyed a baby boom, and the Aquarium added cownose and blue-spotted rays. We also created enriching experiences for our greater New Orleans community, expanding access to the magic of an Audubon adventure through our Audubon Community Connect program. In 2019, nearly 40,000 guests visited Audubon facilities free of charge through initiatives like Orleans Parish Appreciation Days and the New Orleans Public Library Audubon Museum Partner Pass. Audubon’s passion for protecting the environment spurred individual community members to make an impact and participate in initiatives like Plastic Free July. More than 500 participants from across New Orleans joined Audubon in this challenge to reduce single-use plastics and protect marine animals—keeping more than 10,000 pieces of plastic from our waterways. Our 2019 Annual Report reflects our greatest accomplishments of the year, all made possible by you—our donors, Members, guests, and community. From everyone here at Audubon Nature Institute, thank you for being an essential part of our family. L.

    $10.00 US THE ECOZOIC READER Critical Reflection, Story and Shared Dream Experience of an Ecological Age If we are moving into an ecological age . How Do We Get There? "The historical mission of our time is to reinvent the human-at the species level, with critical reflection, within the community of life systems, in a time-developmental context, by means of story and shared dream experience." –Thomas Berry A Publication of the Center for Ecozoic Studies Volume 4, Number 4, 2007 The Great Work We are about the Great Work. We all have our particular work–some of us are teachers, some of us are healers, some of us in various professions, some of us are farming. We have a variety of occupations. But beside the particular work we do and the particular lives we lead, we have a Great Work that everyone is involved in and no one is exempt from. That is the work of moving on from a terminal Cenozoic1 to an emerging Ecozoic Era2 in the story of the planet Earth . which is the Great Work. —Thomas Berry 1Our current geo-biological era, the Cenozoic Era, began 65,000,000 years ago following the mass extinction of dinosaurs and many other species. Now Earth is undergoing another mass extinction of plant and animal species, this time caused by the impact of human activity on the community of life systems. The Cenozoic Era is ending. 2That another geo-biological era will follow the Cenozoic Era is not in question. What is in question is whether humans and other forms of life as we know them will continue to flourish.

  • Post Event Report Dear Friends and Colleagues
    Post Event Report Dear friends and colleagues, On behalf of the Board and our entire team at AVIA, I’d like to thank you for coming to the Asia Video Summit, and for those who supported us at the live event, a big shout-out for making the effort to attend our cocktails and luncheon in person in Hong Kong and Singapore. I hope all of you found the Summit particularly interesting and relevant this year, amidst all the changes we are witnessing. This year has been a challenging year for us all, and for the Association, as the COVID-19 restrictions hampered our ability to have physical meetings and host live conferences where we could connect with all of our partners, members and policy makers across Asia. However, I’d like to think that despite these challenges, we have done well, to continue to find ways to connect with all of you, through our series of webinars, virtual conferences and other outreach programmes, culminating in our first successful virtual event, the Asia Video Summit. Attending the Asia Video Summit and sharing our collective thoughts, insights and support of our industry is also a very important part of what we do as an Association and as its members. Now more than ever, we need to work together to overcome the many obstacles that 2021 may have for us, so once again, thank you for your continued support and commitment to making the video industry stronger and healthier for all. We look forward to hopefully seeing you in person at Asia Video Summit 2021.Stay healthy and safe Louis Boswell CEO, AVIA Main Summit Highlights
