Inspiring people to care about the planet since 1888
Sit back in a casual club setting, sip a drink, enjoy a bite, and share the evening with three extraordinary individuals. These recipients of Nat Geo’s 2011 Young Explorers grants are making their mark on the world of exploration and adventure.
Meet Emily Ainsworth, an Oxford graduate, anthropologist, and photographer who joined Mexican circus troupes to capture “what went on when the curtain fell and the lights went off.”
Meet Shannon Switzer, a surfer, photographer, and environmentalist who works to raise awareness of the urban pollution affecting rivers, the ocean, and her local San Diego surfing community. Visit Shannon Switzer’s website.
Meet Neil Losin, a filmmaker, photographer, and UCLA PhD evolutionary biologist who studies invasive Caribbean lizards to explain the evolution of territoriality.
Moderated by Hannah Bloch of National Geographic Magazine in Nat Geo’s dining hall!
Young Explorers grants support individuals ages 18–25 in projects related to research, conservation,
and exploration.
Alcohol served, ID required.
