Karl explains the vision for the project,
I will use my body to collect and perform the embodied histories of 10,000 US plants and animals. The goal is to highlight the incredible biodiversity of the USA, while providing the general public with practical steps they can take to reduce their impact on natural systems.
With your support, I will conduct field research with 40 threatened species and perform their unique attributes in a series of public performances. Each performance will be accompanied by a presentation from a local environmental scientist, who will discuss wildlife protection and rehabilitation initiatives in the area.
