Wade Davis - and Films

An ethnographer, writer, photographer, professor and filmmaker, Wade Davis holds degrees in anthropology and biology and received his Ph.D. in ethnobotany, all from Harvard University. Between 2000 and 2013 he served as Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society. Named by the NGS as one of the Explorers for the Millennium, he has been described by David Suzuki as “a rare combination of scientist, scholar, poet and passionate defender of all of life’s diversity.” Davis is the author of 375 scientific and popular articles and 23 books including One River (1996), The Wayfinders (2009), Into the Silence (2011) and Magdalena (2020). Davis returns to the Banff stage to not only to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the festival but to also reflect on his life’s work with friend and former National Geographic Executive Vice President and Chief Science and Exploration officer Terry Garcia.

Wade Davis' presentation will be followed by a book signing at intermission and films in competition.
