ArtScience Museum

This talk/workshop is part of the Waves of Change Festival 2022 held at ArtScience Museum on the 10th of September to 9th of October 2022.Exploring Antarctica with CI Take a cruise to the Southern Ocean and enter Antarctica through a screening of the award-winning film Whales In A Changing Ocean and hear from Foo Tun Shien, the only Singaporean on board the 2041 ClimateForce Antarctic Expedition in March 2022. The expedition focuses on sustainability and climate change leadership, to develop future leaders for sustainability and Antarctic conservation. Tun Shien will be sharing his reflections on sustainability and moments of personal discovery together with some wonderful moments with penguins and whales. About the film: Whales In A Changing Ocean (20 mins) In Antarctica, nothing is stationary. The only constant is change. One noticeable and increasingly evident change is the recovery of the humpback whales that feed in the waters off the Antarctic Peninsula, after industrial whaling almost wiped them out. In February 2020, wildlife filmmaker Richard Sidey was invited to join a team of scientists undertaking humpback whale research in Antarctica with Conservation International. Whales in a Changing Ocean follows the team as they observe humpback whale behaviour and gather information vital to protecting the Antarctic continent into the future. Richard Sidey received the Director&#x27;s Award from the International Ocean Film Festival 2021 for this film. About the speaker: Foo Tun Shien Foo Tun Shien recently graduated with a Bachelor&#x27;s degree in Environmental Studies from the National University of Singapore. He was formerly a Natural Climate Solutions Carbon Finance Intern (class of 2021) at Conservation International Singapore and had the opportunity to work on both private and public sector partnerships, develop a financial instrument to deploy capital at scale to natural climate solutions projects, and review policy and financial aspects of conservation projects. He was the only Singaporean selected to join the 2041 ClimateForce Antarctic Expedition in March 2022, an expedition that focused on sustainability and developing climate change leadership to champion the protection of Antarctica.
