When discussing conservation, if the aim is to spur action… Should you emphasise the negative, the urgency, the alarming evidence? The plight, notoriously, of the stranded polar bear? Or should you instead be more positive, focus on awe, the majesty of nature and indeed the achievements of modern conservation? Tonight at Oxford’s Museum of Natural History, the Conservation Optimism festival will showcase the latter - BBC Radio 4 Today Programme

The Good Natured Film Festival presented a seamless fusion of science and nature through art and offered a unique and powerful means of storytelling that touched the hearts of audiences…The work of individuals whose stories have been showcased, as well as people from Conservation Optimism, act as an impactful catalyst for change, inspiring us all to take an active role in preserving the beauty and wonder of our natural world - The Oxford Scientist
