Stacy Bare is a husband, father, skier, rafter, surfer and climber. As a veteran of the Iraq war, he co-founded the Great Outdoors Lab (GO Lab) in 2014 to put scientifically defensible data behind the idea of time outside as healthcare in partnership with Dr. Dacher Keltner at the Greater Good Science Center at UC-Berkeley. Stacy is a 2014 National Geographic Adventurer of the Year & the 2015 SHIFT Conservation Athlete of the Year. In 2015, he launched Adventure Not War (ANW), a project designed to take him back to all the places he fought, cleaned up after war, or was supposed to fight.

On the first ANW expedition, Stacy and Alex Honnold put up new climbing routes in Angola. In 2017, he and two fellow veterans completed a first ski descent of Mt. Halgurd in Iraq chronicled in the award-winning film he produced, ‘Adventure Not War.’ His latest film, a full 80 minute documentary set in Afghanistan, 'Champions of the Golden Valley,' will premiere at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival.

Today, Stacy is the Executive Director of Friends of Grand Rapids Parks, an organization working to increase equal access to the outdoors and empower people to cultivate vibrant parks, trees, and green spaces in the Grand Rapids area.

In this episode, Mark and Stacy talk about surviving and emerging from trauma, welcoming veterans home, healing through recovery, Adventure Not War, green spaces, wildness for everyone, and more.

Alexandra Climent is a rainforest conservationist, sculptural artist, and the founder of Endangered Rainforest Rescue, a women and Indigenous-led nonprofit organization working to restore biodiversity by planting endangered tree species and protecting indigenous land in the Darién Gap of Panamá. Alexandra has led expeditions for several years into this unexplored rainforest where she and her team are working to reforest an essential corridor for the endangered jaguar. The main goal is to use endangered tree species as the building blocks for habitat restoration in deforested areas, reconnecting them to primary forests. The Darién Gap stands as a vital ecological corridor connecting the Americas, holding immense importance in safeguarding the global ecosystem. The work of Alexandra’s organization is not only crucial at a local scale but also pivotal for worldwide climate mitigation efforts. Alexandra’s artistic practice involves utilizing materials gathered from fallen trees in the rainforest that she collected over several years, working with some of the most dense and beautiful wood in the world. The aim of her work is to showcase the rainforest's beauty and highlight its urgent need for protection. She has published articles about her work, most recently in "The World Sensorium, Plantings," where she emphasizes the importance of protecting the Darien Gap and its crucial role in preserving indigenous lands. This week, Mark and Alexandra talk about work on the ground, bringing the work to the world and doing it with a lot of curiosity and wonder.
