Obi Kaufmann Field Atlas : The Coasts of California Event

# data[].attributes.body
On April 19th at 7pm PT, join naturalist and author Obi Kaufmann for a celebration of his latest field atlas, The Coasts of California. In this special livestream event, Obi will peel back the curtain on his process and the unseen creators that have their hands in it, too.

Obi’s signature field atlases have created a genre of their own. Blending science writing, hand-drawn maps, lyrical prose, and Kaufmann’s trail paintings, these reference guides invite the reader to travel—vicariously and literally—through California’s wildlands.

On April 19th at 7pm PT, join naturalist and author Obi Kaufmann for a celebration of his latest field atlas, The Coasts of California. In this special livestream event, Obi will peel back the curtain on his process, then screen a sneak peek of a new film about his work produced by Wildbound and directed by award-winning filmmaker Alice Gu (The Donut King).

Obi's signature field atlases have created a genre of their own. Blending science writing, hand-drawn maps, lyrical prose, and Kaufmann's trail paintings, these reference guides invite the reader to travel-vicariously and literally-through California's wildlands.

Each book is a physical culmination of work that has been years in the making, with a thousand little decisions along the way. Have you ever wondered why Obi's field atlases have that distinctive flexibound cover? Or why his books come in a relatively small format?

For the first time in his five-year career with Heyday, Obi will invite his editor, Emmerich Anklam, and his designer, Ashley Ingram, to join him in a live discussion tracing the journey from idea to manuscript to finished book. Together, the three will provide rare insight into the constraints and the creative synergies of the publishing process.

Next, Obi will be joined by filmmaker Alice Gu ( The Donut King, Really Good Rejects) for a sneak peek of her short film, Walk with Obi: Coasts. The film includes Obi touring the coast with surfer/filmmaker, Chris Malloy, and renowned journalist, Jamie Brisick. After the film screening, Alice and Obi will discuss how they translated Obi's latest book to film, and what inspired their decisions along the way.

To close out the evening, Obi will invite the audience for a live Q&A. This is a rare opportunity to engage with the bestselling author, his venerated publishing team, and a world-class filmmaker as they take us behind the scenes of Obi's literary and visual universe.

This event will feature introductory remarks by special guest Rosanna Xia, environment reporter for the Los Angeles Times.

A live Q&A with attendees will follow the event.

The oldest of the three brothers and the director of The Fisherman's Son (Mountainfilm 2015), as well as a number of highly regarded surf films, Chris Malloy's life is a blend of tradition, conservation and creativity. He is a professional surfer, filmmaker, writer, designer and ambassador for Patagonia with dozens of first [wave] descents throughout Polynesia, Indonesia, Antarctica, Europe and South America. Malloy is also a rare breed of surfer-rancher, the kind who gets up at the crack of last night to move cattle before he tackles the waves. Home base for Malloy is a working ranch in California, where he lives close to the land with his wife and kids.

Jamie Brisick's books include Dazzling Blue: Short Nonfiction, Becoming Westerly: Surf Champion Peter Drouyn's Transformation into Westerly Windina, We Approach Our Martinis With Such High Expectations, Have Board, Will Travel: The Definitive History of Surf, Skate, and Snow, and The Eighties at Echo Beach. His writings have appeared in The New Yorker, The Surfer's Journal, and The New York Times. In 2008 he was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship.

Article: Support AB 223: Protect CA Dudleya

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
What exactly is a Dudleya?

Dudleya is a genus of succulent plants in southwestern North America that includes 47 species and 21 subspecies.

26 species of those species are native to California and grow along coastal cliffs

More than half of California's species are ranked as rare

10 of California's Dudleya are classified as threatened or endangered under the Federal and/or California Endangered Species Acts.

What you should know

People often associate poaching with white rhinos and shark fins, but plant poaching is a serious problem that puts dozens of species at risk every year. Succulents like Dudleya, orchids, cacti, and carnivorous plants are regularly stolen from wildlands and sold on the black market. In some cases, 100-year-old Dudleya have been uprooted from California cliffs and sold for thousands of dollars only to die within a year.

Why Assembly Bill 223?

AB 223 gives law enforcement officials and district attorneys the tools necessary for prosecution and enforces penalties that are large enough to deter Dudleya poachers. The bill makes it explicitly unlawful to steal and sell Dudleya taken from state, local, or private lands, and establishes strong penalties for violations.

These mascots are here to spread the word on Dudleya, the poaching issue and Assembly Bill 223! You can use these endearing mascots on social media with custom GIPHY stickers!
