Age of Humans with Dr. Curt Stager
The Wild Center produced a film with Dr. Curt Stager, Professor of Nature Sciences at Paul Smith's College, that presents a look at how humans are shaping life and the environment on Earth.
The film was created as a part of The Wild Center's Climate Solutions exhibit and was made possible, in part, by Hela and Peter Kindler and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

The World in Three Minutes
New imaging technology and new sensors have made possible this beautiful image of Earth, showing how carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide flow around the planet and shift as plants bloom in the spring in each hemisphere.
A Matter of Degrees
The Wild Center produced and distributed a film narrated by Sigourney Weaver looking at current and projected climate disruptions in relation to the last Ice Age. The movie shows how a few degrees of climate change will have massive impacts. The film, now with a classroom discussion guide and distributed to schools around New York State, is the winner of numerous national and international film prizes.
The film’s free distribution was made with generous seed support from the Betsy and Jesse Fink Foundation.
