July 01, 2017 — Animal lovers around the world fall silent once again as we see a tragic event repeat itself. Xanda, the son of the famous Zimbabwean lion Cecil, has reportedly met the same horrific fate – killed by trophy hunters.

Hilda Tresz Has ‘A Week to Change’ the Lives of Captive Animals

June 28, 2017 — Many of us have likely visited a zoo as a young person or with children, and for most this experience is the first time we encounter many animals from across the world. These establishments range in their care and housing of their residents; while some are not so great, others excel and often give back […]

Nature Photography Day: Through The Lens We Understand and Care

June 15, 2017 — For some, seeing is believing and a way to connect to experiences. Photos have the exceptional power to do just that. For example, when we read or hear that thousands of hectares of land are logged, the glaciers are melting at record speed, or that chimpanzees are so like human beings, nothing relates those facts […]

100th Birthday Wish: Protect National Parks and Monuments

June 09, 2017 — National Parks and monuments are more than simply public space. Presidents of the past have realized their tremendous value to Americans not only as a part of our national identity, but as a place for reflection, connection with nature, and as a right for every citizen regardless of identity.

Why Aren’t There More Wonder Women in STEM?

June 08, 2017 — The new Wonder Woman movie released last week has sparked (appropriately) an outpouring of excitement and support, outlining and reinforcing how necessary it is to have women represented in media and, perhaps most importantly, portrayed as capable of anything and as successful in any profession (or super-profession). As in the case of Dr. Jane Goodall, not […]

Finding Maurice: Karin Konoval in ‘War for the Planet of the Apes’

June 08, 2017 — Finding Maurice by Karin Konoval In 2010 I was cast as “Maurice” in the film Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The challenge: how do I portray, with physical and psychological integrity, a mature male orangutan? It was the most unique and strenuous preparation for a role I’ve ever undertaken. I began with every […]

Hope For the Planet on World Environment Day

June 05, 2017 — Hope in Action The power of a single story is immeasurable. When a young 26 year old woman from England traveled to Tanzania to study wild animals and share their stories, she transformed our understanding of our relationship to non-human animals, and what was possible for a woman in science, or in general. The reverberations […]

War for the Planet of the Apes Partners with JGI To Help Chimps

June 05, 2017 — What compels us about the narrative of a young woman entering into an unknown jungle to discover a world of primates, so much like ourselves? It is the realization of our ultimate connection to these beings; a learned respect for something within great apes and all those derived from this shared earthly and ancient evolutionary […]

The Paris Agreement & the Agreement We Must Make to Protect Life on Earth

June 01, 2017 — The Paris Agreement represents an unprecedented collaboration among nations who choose to work together to address climate change in their own countries and globally.
