The Collective is committed to cultivating equity in science and nature storytelling and is made possible through the support of the Jackson Wild Board of Directors with additional funding from National Geographic Society, HHMI Tangled Bank Studios and the Cornell Douglas Foundation.
We want to give a big thank you to the members of our Action Coalitions as well as the Collective Committee — Sarah Joseph, Brooke Runnette and Jacqueline Farmer — for their instrumental role in bringing this initiative to life.
