Dune Lankard, a native Athabaskan Eyak from the Copper River Delta of Alaska, was a commercial fisherman in Prince William Sound when the Exxon Valdez disaster made him an activist and social entrepreneur, dedicating his life to protecting human rights and the environment. Selected by Time magazine as one of its “Heroes of the Planet,” he is a co-founder of the RED OIL Network (Resisting Environmental Degradation of Indigenous Lands).

Janine Benyus is a brilliant naturalist and the author of six books, including the groundbreaking Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature. She is co-founder of the Biomimicry Institute, which helps designers, engineers and community leaders "consult life's genius for more graceful ways to live on earth."
