Helping Humans and Animals Live Together-Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall’s Ted Talks on how humans and animals can live together highlight the importance of community projects that support both conservation efforts and the well-being of human communities. Her talks emphasize the need for humans to coexist with animals in harmony, advocating for policies that protect wildlife while improving the lives of people. Goodall’s work has inspired many to consider the interconnectedness of all life and the importance of sustainable practices for the future.
What I learned from Nelson Mandela – Boyd Varty
In the cathedral of the wild, we get to see the best parts of ourselves reflected back to us." Boyd Varty, a wildlife activist, shares stories of animals, humans and their interrelatedness, or "ubuntu" -- defined as, "I am, because of you." And he dedicates the talk to South African leader Nelson Mandela, the human embodiment of that same great-hearted, generous spirit.

Life’s Third Act – Jane Fonda
Within this generation, an extra 30 years have been added to our life expectancy, and these years aren’t just a footnote or a pathology. In this talk, Jane Fonda asks how we can think about this new phase of our lives.
Embrace Your Third Act – Mary Walsh
Old age isn’t ‘past our prime’. It is our prime. Comedian Mary Walsh argues that it’s time to redefine our third act in life: that elder-hood is the best moment of our life, when we get a chance to really know ourselves, and have the freedom to follow our heart’s desires.
