WATER - WADE DAVIS
Mountainfilm audiences know Wade Davis—an Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society—as an anthropologist. This year, he speaks at the Symposium as an activist who is trying to prevent drilling and mining in the Sacred Headwaters, an area in northern British Columbia that is also known as the "Serengeti of the North," so-named for its unusually large and intact predator-prey system.
