“We thought it would be great if we had a platform where musicians could get more involved in one of the biggest challenges of our time – saving our planet. And this exhibit and concert was the answer,” said Brian Sheth, Chair, Global Wildlife Conservation. “We hope that both will not only inspire us to celebrate the richness of life within our seas and throughout our continents, but also inspire us to become more active caretakers of this fragile planet we all call home.”
