Join us on March 29th at 4:30 p.m. in 138 Lewis Library for a screening of the acclaimed 2022 documentary “Pleistocene Park”,followed by a panel discussion hosted by Elena Fratto with director Luke Griswold-Tergis, Rob Pringle (Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Princeton U), Anya Bernstein (Professor of Anthropology, Harvard U), and Adam Wolf (Princeton-based biologist who worked in the Pleistocene Park nature reserve).
This event is free and open to the public – it is sponsored by the Program in Russian, East European and Eurasian Studies (REEES) and High Meadows Environmental Institute.
Watch the trailer here:
The documentary screened at major film festivals in 2022 and it details scientist Sergei Zimov’s project of recreating the Pleistocene environment in the Siberian Arctic. His goal is to thicken the permafrost layer, or simply prevent it from melting, so as to offset carbon dioxide emissions. Zimov’s endeavor in his research natural reserve (Pleistocene Park) is very ambitious and in some respects epic and visionary
