Bioneers is inspiring a shift to live on Earth in ways that honor the web of life, each other and future generations. Founded in 1990, Bioneers promotes practical environmental solutions and innovative social strategies for restoring Earth’s imperiled ecosystems and healing our human communities.
Don’t miss this public talk and conversation with BIONEERS co-founders KENNY AUSUBEL & NINA SIMONS of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Kenny Ausubel coined the term BIONEERS (biological pioneers) in 1990 to describe an emerging culture. Bioneers are social and scientific innovators from all walks of life and disciplines who have peered deep into the heart of living systems to understand
how nature operates, and to mimic “nature’s operating instructions” to serve human ends without harming the web of life. Nature’s principles—kinship, cooperation, diversity, symbiosis, and cycles of continuous creation absent of waste—can also serve as metaphoric guideposts for organizing an equitable, compassionate and democratic society.
The annual BIONEERS CONFERENCE highlights practical, innovative solutions to our environmental and social challenges. For 20 years, Kenny & Nina have co-produced the 3-day Bioneers Conference that happens each October in San Rafael, Calif., and oversee the “Beaming Bioneers” satellite program of which BIONEERS IN ALASKA has been part since 2004.
