The fact that Céline Cousteau has been a conservationist for virtually her entire life is hardly a surprise given her upbringing: The granddaughter of legendary explorer and oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau spent much of her youth aboard the famous research vessel Calypso, plying the seas in search of answers to the oceans’ greatest mysteries.
Today, the younger Cousteau is continuing her grandfather’s legacy as a documentary filmmaker, most recently through her project Tribes on the Edge.
Celine Cousteau shares about her learnings from a life time of visits in the Amazon Rainforest. The lungs of our Earth, currently in focus and on a global display. Is it our responsibility as humanity to create large natural reserves?
Green-zones that leave our biosphere recover and provide in its natural cycles. Offering us and all species a place to live. In this episode Celine and I talk about:
- Planet Home and our responsibilities.
- Attitudes towards purpose and how to love with conviction.
- Tribes at the Edge
- Optimism as a choice
