Project Idea

People currently are suffering from generational amnesia. The nature that we see such as Discovery Park or Yellowstone National Park is what our generation sees as nature. However, what was it really like a century ago before most of us even existed? New standards of nature have been made and people’s visions about what nature or the wild should really be like are morphing. For a project I want to find a way to explain to people what they now are missing out on and what future generations will be missing out on in their time. I was thinking about doing this by somehow having important facts of “what was once here” in a popular park setting. The facts would somehow have to be eye catching and something that people will want to stop to read, engage in and begin to learn what our generation needs to do in order to slow the ever increasing loss of our healthy environment.
