Crocodile Conversations & Alligator Gossip | Savannah Boan | TEDxOrlando

By:  TEDx Talks

Originally published on January 3rd, 2019

Crocodiles and alligators aren’t exactly what comes to mind when one thinks ‘cute and cuddly’. Yet gators and crocs are important and vital creatures in our world’s ecosystem. How can we protect these amazing creatures through anthropomorphism and storytelling? What role can social media and eco-tourism play?

Savannah Boan from Gatorland makes the case in her fun and energetic TEDxOrlando 2018 talk.

Savannah Boan is Gatorland’s Crocodilian Enrichment Coordinator and International Ambassador For Conservation. She is dedicated to teaching people about the incredible behavior, anatomy, and ecology of some of the world’s most feared creatures. Through groundbreaking content for Gatorland’s worldwide social media, she is changing the villainous perception of alligators and crocodiles to create respect for the animals and the world in which they live. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

Hidden miracles of the natural world | Louie Schwartzberg

By: TED

Published on Apr 9, 2014

“One of the best documentaries of 2017. An astonishing accomplishment. Morgen is setting the bar for profile documentaries and changing the rules for his field.”

BRIAN TALLERICO, ROGEREBERT.COM

“Few films this year offer up such lush and formal components. Morgen has made a film of deep emotional beauty. Required viewing for anyone seeking a classic in the making.”

KATE ERBLAND, INDIEWIRE

“Transcends the boundaries of both nature films and biographies. Its epic elements of adventure, romance, and spiritual connection possess a sweep equal to any narrative film. A wondrous, moving, and truly stirring portrait that puts us right there with Goodall to share in her discoveries, propelled by the majestic sounds of Philip Glass. This is a truly stirring legacy portrait.”
