Explore Green™, BRAIDED RIVER COLLABORATE ON A MISSION TO INSPIRE AND ENLIGHTEN THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY AND LITERATURE
“We believe Braided River’s superlative writers and photographers deserve the largest possible audience to inspire and enlighten all of us about the magnificent subjects they portray in their words and images,” said Paul Zemitzsch, president of Explore Green™. “The art of literature and photography will move many to understand the importance of preserving our wild places and its inhabitants.” Explore Green™ and Braided River have also begun discussions to create new publishing projects using Explore Green™’s team of worldwide experts. “Braided River connects people to wild places through beautiful images and fascinating stories that ignite passion and inspire stewardship. Through this strategic partnership with Explore Green™, we can reach out to an even broader, more diverse audience,” said Helen Cherullo, executive director of Braided River. Braided River is committed to inspiring support for critical conservation efforts. It combines the arts of photography and literature to create books, media campaigns, multimedia presentations, and museum exhibits that change perspectives and engage audiences beyond the traditional environmental core. By developing partnerships with like-minded organizations and building broader public support, Braided River triggers action that results in on-the-ground victories for wilderness preservation. Its current projects focus on two interconnected themes: the impacts of climate change on the natural world and the importance of preserving biodiversity through saving wilderness. Explore Green™ is a worldwide resource of the leading names and creativity about the environment and exploration. With the increasing fusion of entertainment, politics and ecological issues, Explore Green™ gives businesses, associations and groups of all kinds access to those innovators and visionaries who are the top thinkers on the planet, about the planet.
