Etnograaf Wade Davis verkent verborgen plaatsen in de rest van de wereld-- maar in deze korte maar krachtige talk vraagt hij ons een paradijs in zijn achtertuin in het noorden van Canada te beschermen. De 'Sacred Headwaters', afgelegen en ongerept, worden bedreigd omdat ze rijke teerzanden verbergen. Met prachtige foto's stelt Davis een moeilijke vraag: hoe kunnen wij de behoefte aan brandstoffen verzoenen met de drang om deze glorieuze wildernis te beschermen?

A National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, he has been described as “a rare combination of scientist, scholar, poet and passionate defender of all of life’s diversity.” Full bio »
