 The Safina Center began wide exploration and interpretation of how humans are changing the living world, and what those changes mean for life-supporting systems, living nature, and people.As a result, the Center’s works range broadly through ecology generally, addressing the cognitive, emotional, and cultural lives of other species in their free-living populations; pollution, especially of plastics in the global ocean; deforestation; land use issues and defining wilderness; loss and preservation of natural habitats; trophy hunting; endangerment, recoveries, and abundance trends in free-living populations; zoos and conservation; human rights abuses in fisheries; as well as personal food choices and our food system generally.The broad portfolio of all the work is that any product that “helps make the case for Life on Earth” constitutes an appropriate area of inquiry, narrative, policy formulation, and expression for the Center’s Staff, Fellows and Creative Affiliates.
