Animal Fair’s Wendy Diamond, an Honorary Benefit Committee Member, and AVENUE MAGAZINE is inviting you to attend and proud to present its “Life Below Water” Gala in association with the UN Office for Partnerships. A highlight of the evening will be the Avenue Altruism Awards honoring philanthropic individuals and groups, and those leaders and artists working to protect and enhance the aquatic environment and life under the sea. “Life Below Water,” an initiative of AVENUE Magazine in association with the UN Office for Partnerships, will honor and benefit “Mission Blue”, an organization dedicated to inspire action to explore and protect the ocean.
This year the Avenue Altruism Awards will be honoring Sylvia Earle – scientist, and founder of the documentary “Mission Blue”.
Dr. Sylvia Earle is the Founder, President and Chairman of Mission Blue / The Sylvia Earle Alliance. A National Geographic Society Explorer-in-Residence, Earle, has been called “Her Deepness” by the New Yorker and the New York Times, “a Living Legend” by the Library of Congress, and first “Hero for the Planet” by Time magazine. She is a revered oceanographer, explorer, author, and lecturer.
Her special focus is on developing a global network of areas on the land and in the ocean to safeguard the living systems that provide the underpinnings of global processes, from maintaining biodiversity and yielding basic life support services to providing stability and resiliency in response to accelerating climate change.
