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, plants or animals. SAS Nature manages the Monique and Gisèle Benoit Centre, where it produces thematic exhibitions and organizes talks as well as meetings between its visitors and artists. The centre regularly hosts school groups. SAS Nature has published the beautiful art book FRISSON SACRÉ du monde sauvage. It has also published two memoirs and co-produced the recent documentary by Gisèle Benoit entitled LYNX, GUARDIAN OF FORGOTTEN SECRETS.
SAS Nature is currently developing educational programs that will use state-of-the-art technologies and link the educational offerings of the Monique and Gisèle Benoit Centre to the content of GB.TV. It also supports the important web-series project on the Wolf piloted by the Benoit family.
You can participate in the Benoit family’s mission and support their projects by viewing GB.TV’s programs, sharing the channel’s trailers, shopping on our online store, making a donation or offering a service.
