“On this Earth Day, ‘Earth Optimism’ should be more than a slogan; it should be a rallying cry for people of conscience to work together year-round in order to safeguard this beautiful planet we call home.”
— Smithsonian Secretary David J. Skorton
This weekend, we’re sharing conservation success stories at our #EarthOptimism Summit, a first-of-its-kind gathering of more than 150 scientists, thought leaders, philanthropists and civic leaders to share and learn from each other’s conservation achievements.
