Went down to the Creatively United for the Planet Festival in Victoria to hear famed Canadian naturalist painter, Robert Bateman give the keynote. Here's Bateman's bio.
Robert Bateman’s work is in many public and private collections, plus several art museums including the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, WY. He was commissioned by the Governor-General of Canada to create a painting as the wedding gift for HRH Prince Charles from the people of Canada. His work is also represented in the collection of HRH Prince Philip, the late Princess Grace of Monaco and Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. Bateman has had many one-man museum shows throughout North America, including an exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC; most of these shows have drawn record-breaking crowds. Recently, the retrospective show, The Art of Robert Bateman, toured Canada and the USA for two years, and a one-man show toured four cities in Russia.
His honours, awards and honorary doctorates are numerous: he was made Officer of the Order of Canada, the country’s highest civilian award in 1984. He has also been given the Rachel Carson Award (1996), the Golden Plate from the American Academy of Achievement (1998) and the Order of British Columbia (2001), and Human Rights Defender Award from Amnesty International (2007); he was named one of the 20th Century’s Champions of Conservation by the U.S. National Audubon Society (1998).
He has also been the subject of several films and television programs. It is in honour of Bateman’s contribution to art and conservation that one public and two secondary schools have been named after him. As well, he has been awarded 12 honorary doctorates. Bateman’s art reflects his commitment to ecology and preservation. Since the early 1960′s, he has been an active member of naturalist and conservation organizations, now on a global scale.
I went down to the Social Justice and the Media (An Afternoon Mini-Conference) held at the University of Victoria's Legacy Gallery in downtown Victoria. There, some of the luminaries of Victoria's Fringe-Alt. media gathered to discuss the issue. Featured was keynote speaker, Steve Anderson of Vancouver-based OpenMedia.ca, Tyee.ca scribe Andrew McLeod, Victoria Street Newz publisher and broadcaster, Janine Bandcroft, Independent Community TV producer and The Bridge newspaper publisher, Jack Etkin, and others.
This week: David W. Johnston is a biological oceanographer and conservation biologist at Duke University's Marine Lab. His focus is on framing ecology and the habitat needs of marine animals in relation to conservation. He is currently working on projects studying marine vertebrates, and the design and utility of marine protected areas for them, emphasizing the effects of climate change on marine animals and the sustainability of incidental mortality and directed harvests of marine animals.
Johnston is lead author on the newly published paper, 'The Effects of Climate Change on Harp Seals (Pagophilus groenlandicus),' and if its conclusions are correct, continuing the east coast commercial seal hunt, (or "cull", as it is often characterized by governments) could stress targeted populations beyond recovery.

And; former Gorilla Radio guest, Richard Boyce will present his new film, 'Rainforest - The Limit of Splendour' at this year's Victoria Film Festival. Richard is a long-time island social justice and environment activist, whose kayak trip through Vancouver Island's pristine East Creek and Klaskish Inlet with Ingmar Lee led to the seven year odyssey of exploration culminating in the film. He has been touring festivals across the country, with 'Raincoast,' screening in Montreal, Vancouver, and winning the Mountain Culture Film Award at Whistler.

And; almost everyone can talk a good green game, but what happens when it comes to following up the palaver?
OUR Ecovillage is where the bicycle rubber meets the bike trail. A 25 acre sustainable living demonstration site and education centre, located in Shawnigan Lake, just up the road from Victoria, OUR Ecovillage has been living the green dream, while training countless others in the ways of living they can employ to lessen their load on the environment. From food security and alternative building models, to teaching people how to live and work cooperatively, the project emphasizes it is; "by community, for community, through community." It all sounds ideal; but, there's a problem in paradise.
