Talk Year:

For 1.5 million years, African elephants have walked the continent of Africa. Their deep wisdom and the secure attachments that begin the minute a newborn arrives have been passed down through countless generations. Since 1991, Stephen Gianotti has had the privilege to be up close and personal with the African elephant as a student of their wisdom, an admirer of their generosity, and an advocate for their sustainable survival. His talk shares three lessons from the African elephant and three challenging questions that inform and could alter the course of our lives and, quite possibly, humanity.
