Dayna Reggero is an award-winning filmmaker and founding director of the Climate Listening Project. Her film work includes short documentary, “The Wood Thrush Connection”, listening to birders across borders connected by a common goal to protect a beloved songbird; and documentary series, “The Story We Want”, listening to women throughout the United States fighting back and winning against a culture of pollution and extraction. In a recent print feature, Woman’s Day Magazine showcased Dayna as an “Earth Mother: an Artist Activist who isn’t just fighting for cleaner air and water, but protecting a community’s most precious resources – its people.” Her work started at 19, appearing with animals on television to talk about our shared environment. She partnered with Discovery Communications on her first film tour and then collaborated with the Sierra Club on the Emmy award-winning series “Years of Living Dangerously”. She went on to study science communications and received her Bachelor of Arts before earning her Master of Science degree in environmental management and policy. Salon.com wrote: “By trade, Dayna Reggero is an environmentalist. Her work ranges from filmmaking to beginning her career as a spokesperson. However, her most skilled work might come in the form of organizing conversations, or simply starting them.” Dayna works locally to help protect the places and people at home, while traveling around the world to listen.
