Trailblazing Talks with Frans Lanting and Christine Eckstrom Bay of Life: From Wind to Whales

California’s Monterey Bay is America’s top biodiversity hotspot — and Frans and Christine’s backyard. 100 years ago, it was on the verge of ecological collapse with the clear cutting of Redwood forests, and its wildlife in crisis. Today, Monterey Bay is a thriving example of renewal and recovery. Frans and Christine share this story on stage, demonstrating how damaged ecosystems can be restored when people care—and act — together.
