Event Details
This conversation on Buddhism and Ecology addresses the notions of wild and rewilding from both internal and external perspectives; how can wildness be understood in relation to contemplative practice, as cultivation of the wilderness around us and a felt sense of the wild in ourselves? The conversation draws from the work of Gary Snyder, an award-winning writer, environmentalist, and Buddhist practitioner, and by using visual prompts from Kaisu’s environmental art.
Dr. Kaisu Koski is a cross-disciplinary artist with a background in performance, film, and biological materials. She collaborates with scientists, clinicians, and engineers, focusing on the climate crisis, multispecies relationships, and the art-science methodology. Kaisu is an Associate Professor of Art and Design at Lab4Living at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK.

Meet outside the Urban Ecology Center. Once gathered, the group will go on a short nature walk to gain some inspiration for the embroidery activity. Then we’ll return to the outdoor picnic tables to arrange materials and learn the basics of embroidery. We’ll use images of native plants [since it’s still winter!] and basic techniques to try our hand at this classic art form.
Encounter the Savannah Restoration and Wildscape Demonstration Garden and learn a little bit about these unique features here at Phil Hardberger Park. Please note, we will be working with hoops, thread, needles, and scissors.
No Art Experience Necessary! Weather permitting. Class size is limited. Registration required.

Event Details
The media often portrays our climate future as a choice between bleak and bleaker, which may seem justified given the many impacts of global warming that we are already seeing. But it doesn’t have to be that way, because if we understand the science behind global warming, then we can also see a pathway to its solution. In this presentation, Dr. Bennett will give you a brief overview of the surprisingly simple basic science behind global warming and of the consequences we can expect from this warming. He will then explain how we can in principle take the steps necessary to envision a “post-global warming” future, meaning a future in which today’s children will someday be able to talk about global warming as a once-serious problem that we found a way to solve. Note: This talk builds upon Dr. Bennett’s freely posted global warming primer.
Bennett, an astronomer and published science writer many times over, makes the science behind global warming clear and easy to understand in the hopes of defining its solutions and making them accessible to all.
He estimates reaching more than 10,000 people in 25 cities during his 2015 Relativity Tour, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.

Join us Thursday February 9, for “Walk on the River: A Black History of the Alamo City.” In this independent film we take the time to document both the history and the contributions African-Americans have made to the fabric of San Antonio, Texas from Emancipation to the Civil Rights movement. We chronicle the path of freed Blacks establishing communities, churches and schools in the 1800’s to thriving Black-owned businesses that flourished during the Jim Crow era.
The original Walk on the River, completed in August of 2018 is one of the most successful documentary films in San Antonio, TX. It has helped to educate thousands about the Black Experience here in our city.
We touch on religion, politics, education, social organizations and community all in an attempt to paint a vivid picture of life for Black San Antonians in the past to help create a knowledge base, a sense of pride and a blueprint for the next generations moving forward.
“Walk on the River” features interviews from very influential people in our community like:
- Mario Salas
- Ed Glosson
- Dr. Rudyard Hilliard
- Nettie Hinton
- Lon Taylor
- Vera Williams Young
- D.L. Grant
- … and more
ONLINE VIEWING
The presentation will take place online using the ZOOM platform, tickets are available here.
Once you’ve purchased your ticket, you will be sent an email with a link to the event.
After the presentation is completed, we will host a live Q&A session with the the owners of Melaneyes Media Aundar Ma’at and Born Logic Allah, where you will have the opportunity to ask questions and post comments.
COST
We are using the honor system for this online screening, so you are able to pay what you would like.
This presentation is produced and moderated by Aundar Ma’at and Born Logic Allah for Melaneyes Media LLC, the producers of feature films “Walk on the River: A Black History of the Alamo City” and “Message to the People: A Story of Malcolm X.”

January Topic & Speaker
The San Antonio Zoo’s Center for Conservation & Research (SAZCCR) has active conservation programs across the globe. Danté Fenolio, who runs the Center for Conservation & Research for San Antonio Zoo (SAZCCR), will describe several projects, including:
- A collaboration with indigenous groups in Amazonian Peru, working to maintain stands of rainforest on traditional lands, in spite of very challenging logging, hydrocarbon extraction, and mining activities.
- A partnership with the Austral University in Valdivia, Chile, developing a series of labs to breed critically endangered amphibians from the temperate rainforests in the region, to address stressors from deforestation and forest fragmentation.
- A partnership with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, documenting the diversity and distribution of cavefishes in south China; amazingly, China has 120 species of cavefishes, more than any other region of the world, however nearly all are threatened with contamination and over-extraction of groundwater.
- A partnership with Japanese biologists to keep Japanese Giant Salamanders in the wild, by implementing “salamander ladders”, along streams with small to mid-sized dams that isolate populations and reduce genetic diversity.
- The DEEPEND project, a consortium of biologists examining impacts of oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico on the local species.
- Finally, SAZCCR works with state and federal wildlife authorities to bioinventory subterranean habitats ranging from the Ozarks to Texas to the Floridan Aquifer; it also develops captive husbandry and breeding protocols for imperiled and critically endangered species.

Field Ornithology Camp at Hog Island
Join us Wednesday, January 25 in the conference room at Alamo Colleges District, 2222 N. Alamo, for our first in-person gathering for a monthly meeting in almost three years! We’d like to invite you to arrive at 6:00 PM for refreshments and socializing before the program begins at 6:30 PM. If you plan to attend in person, please sign up here so we know how many people we will need to accommodate with refreshments and seating.
Yvette Stewart, Community Outreach Coordinator for Audubon Texas, will present via Zoom about her Field Ornithology Camp at Hog Island, which was a week of all things avian, learning in small groups, field settings about bird biology and evolution, nesting behavior, songs, migration, and conservation. Yvette has a Bachelor’s in Wildlife and Conservation Biology from the University of Rhode Island and Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Texas. A lover of all creatures from tiny spiders to soaring eagles, Yvette is most happy when she’s showing others the wonders of the natural world and prompting people to learn and grow in the great outdoors. She has been with Audubon Texas since 2018 and currently leads two state-wide programs: Audubon’s Conservation Leaders for Young Women (ACL) and Bird City Texas (BCT).
Corina Solis, Senior Conservation Assistant, Mitchell Lake Audubon Center (MLAC), will give a recap in person of the camp she attended, Birds of Maine Island: A service week. The campers learned seabird identification, bird banding, adaptations, migration, and ecology while participating in active restoration work. Corina has a degree in Biology with a concentration in Ecology from Texas A&M-San Antonio and has been with MLAC for four years.
This meeting is approved for AAMN AT hours.
