Perception
/ President
2000 -
Present
Perception is dedicated to the concept that, just as biodiversity is necessary for the survival of the environment, different ways of perceiving reality are essential for the survival of the human species. In promotion of this belief, Perception works with indigenous people, furthers environmental and wildlife conservation, and promotes biological, cultural, and perceptual diversity. One of our primary goals is to educate the public by providing new perspectives on these issues and their inter-relationships. Perception's projects use photography, video, writing, educational workshops and other inter-disciplinary approaches. Projects have taken place globally.
