"But if you think about where nature is, you know, nature is far away. Nature is on the fringes of our society. Well, who lives in those places? It's Indigenous peoples. So, you know, a lot of these tribes are the longtime stewards of nature. So my work has really changed to be from a science focus to...more about the who and the how than that what."
Today on "As Spiders Do," Angelo Villagomez, '00 shares about his work as an ocean conservationist and the power of creating human connection to enact change. Angelo grew up in the Mariana Islands and tells us a little about his family and how his experiences have impacted his life and work.
