From the age-old practice of praying to the sacred lake of Batur, to modern techniques of conservation and preservation, we are always finding ways to protect this precious life force. This conversation brings together the expertise of Jero Penyarikan Duuran Batur, who shares the ancestral lessons of water rituals; Craig Leeson, who has extensively documented marine pollution; and Claudia Koch, who persistently works towards science-based marine restoration. Throughout this panel, consider how we may be able to implement techniques from both tradition and technology to determine the future of how we preserve and respect water.
