Art to move, Science to understand and Nature to survive! Founded in June 2008 by the Benoit family and many of its collaborators, the Society of Art and Science for Nature (SAS Nature) has a mandate to make the public aware of the conservation of natural habitats and wildlife protection, especially with regard to predators such as the wolf. As its name suggests, this non-profit organization uses art and science as educational tools, mainly through the work of Monique, Gisèle and Raynald Benoit, well-known figures in the fields of wildlife art and nature documentaries.
SAS Nature specializes in the production and dissemination of projects aimed at raising awareness among the general public about the unsung and fascinating aspects of wildlife. It manages the Monique and Gisèle Benoit Centre, where it produces thematic exhibitions that include the viewing of documentaries. In addition to co-producing both web-series RENDEZVOUS WITH NATURE GB.TV and MA’IINGAN, In the Land of the Wolf, the organization is carrying out research on rewilding, with the aim to know how this cutting-edge tool should be used to protect Québec’s biodiversity.
SAS Nature is currently developing educational projects with the theme of rewilding and highlighting the crucial role of keystone species in an ecosystem. The grey wolf, for example, should be granted special protection status. These subjects will be at the heart of the next documentaries broadcast on the GB.TV channel and the exhibitions at the Monique and Gisèle Benoit Centre.
You can participate in our wildlife protection mission and support our projects by viewing and sharing GB.TV’s documentaries, shopping on our online store or making a donation.
