Meet four individuals who represent the next generation of research and exploration! The Young Explorers Grants enable promising explorers between the ages of 18 and 25 to pursue their projects and gain field experience. Katherine Amato studies primates in Mexico’s tropical forest. Journalist Patrick Walters investigates the havoc wreaked by Asian carp on the Illinois River. Ross McDermott’s American Festival Project explores small-town festivals—from the National Hobo Convention in Iowa to the Middle of Nowhere celebration in Nebraska. Trip Jennings caves and paddles in unexplored regions of Papua New Guinea to promote conservation. At this program moderated by Hannah Bloch, an editor for National Geographic, you’ll meet these exciting young explorers firsthand.
