Speaker: Jeff Litton
Jeff Litton is a dedicated advocate for our planet, working to ignite a passion within people to cherish our Earth by bringing nature to people, and people to nature. By showcasing his work through platforms like National Geographic magazine, the National Geographic Channel, a TED talk, and many films, he’s brought unparalleled nature into the homes and lives of millions around the world.
His career in the travel industry involves leading individuals into the untamed wilderness since 2009 through roles as a trip leader, National Geographic Educator, naturalist, polar bear guide, expedition filmmaker, photography instructor, and undersea specialist.
He also is an environmental filmmaker, contributing his efforts to esteemed organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, National Geographic Expeditions, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, and many others. His film projects have contributed to many successful campaigns including stopping whaling in the southern ocean, banning the shark fin trade in California, preserving 600,000 acres within the Rio Grande Watershed, and saving a vital 9-mile stretch of the Bear River, which risked potential inundation by the construction of a new dam.
Jeff's dedication extends to education, as he passionately imparts his knowledge to others as a National Geographic Educator and Photography Instructor. Graduating with honors from the esteemed Brooks Institute of Photography, he finds immense joy these days in teaching photography, film, and aerial cinematography, alongside his career in filmmaking.
