Bayside wetlands improve water quality\, support fisheries\, and buffer storms. Coastal prairies absorb floodwaters and sequester carbon. Dunes and beaches guard against erosion from a high-energy coast. These habitats are in steep decline under pressure from development\, sea-level rise\, erosion\, and subsidence. Protecting land before it’s fragmented is the most cost-effective\, durable intervention we have. Since 2010\, with partners across agencies and the community\, Artist Boat has assembled a 1\,039-acre sanctuary with a goal of 1\,400 acres — a living laboratory for resilience. Thus far\, $24M+ has been secured through 14 transactions to make the vision real. With hope\, Artist Boat is striving to conserve the next 204 acres. Learn how hope\, persistence\, and hard work have turned an uncertainty into a “given” with willing sellers and an invested community from the national to state to local level. Time for interactive discussion with the speaker will be provided. Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1986278890631. This virtual event will use the WebEx platform. Registrants will receive a separate e-mail with WebEx connection details.  All registrants will get a link to the recording of this talk.

Through supporting young people engaged in armed conflict to lay down their arms and rebuild their lives as agents of peace\, we have been advancing efforts toward sustaining peace.\n\nWe have held online events to share details about our activities\, but it has been difficult to tell concrete images about the armed conflict occurring around the world. Therefore\, to give you a more detailed sense of the reality on the ground where we work\, we have organized an event featuring short documentary films.\n\nAt this event\, along with a brief explanation of the issues we are addressing and our approach\, we will watch a short documentary film\, “Why does the Japanese man engage them?”\, directed and filmed by Yuta Saito\, who worked alongside our organization’s executive director\, Dr. Yosuke Nagai in Somalia for two and a half years.\n\nFollowing the screening\, we will also introduce our recent activities\, including efforts to establish international norms for the protection and empowerment of youth engaged in armed conflict.\n\nWe hope you will join us in experiencing the reality of the situation through this film and taking the time to consider conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
