Christian Cooper, Daytime Emmy Award-winning Host of National Geographic's hit series: Extraordinary Birder and NY Times best-selling author of Better Living Through Birding. - The natural world is in desperate need of some healing—and so are we. Can attention to birds, as one of the most accessible gateways to nature, offer a way forward for a planet in trouble while also bridging some of the chasms between us human beings? Practically born with a pair of binoculars in his hands, Cooper is the vice president of New York City Bird Alliance. He advocates for greater, safer access to green spaces for all, with a focus on outreach to youth in underserved communities. A longtime activist on issues of racial justice and LGBTQ equality, Christian combined his passions in the BLM graphic short story "It’s a Bird” from DC Comics, and he continues to seek synergy at the intersections of storytelling, progressivism, and environmentalism.
