ARTEMIS
WILDLIFE FOUNDATION
Artemis Wildlife Foundation is a 501(C)3 corporation whose mission is
to further educational and community-based efforts which demonstrate the
interdependence of human culture and ecology. Founded in 1982, Artemis
implements this mission by pursuing two program areas:
Education:
Artemis produces educational documentary films and public radio programs.
"Home Ground: Changes and Choices in the American West " is
a half-hour weekly public affairs program broadcast on forty-three NPR
stations in the Rocky Mountain West. Brian Kahn, Artemis president and
executive director, serves as program host. Artemis award-winning documentaries
about the interdependence of people and nature have included Return of
the Desert Bighorn, A Walk Through Pine Butte Swamp, and A Thousand Cranes.
The latter depicts American-Soviet cooperation to save the endangered
Siberian crane from extinction. A parable about the threat to human life
posed by the Cold War, the film won numerous awards, including a CINE
Golden Eagle and the President of Italy Medal at the Salerno International
Film Festival. The film was screened at a special showing at the United
Nations.
Conservation:
Artemis, through its Common Ground Project, initiates
and facilitates community-based conservation efforts which demonstrate
the interdependence of human, cultural and ecological needs. Common Ground
works directly with resource-dependent people and communities to implement
economic strategies compatible with ecological and cultural integrity.
