Episode 27 - Randi Renate and Beatriz Chachamovits

 

Welcome To Art Lovers Forum.  Make note of the two women I’m introducing you to today. Not only will artists/explorers Randi Renate and Beatriz Chachamovits be world famous in the not too distant future, but they will be instrumental in helping to save the planet. The work they are doing to preserve and restore coral reefs are also leading them to publicly expose other areas of the ocean that are deteriorating. They are extremely passionate about their mission, and they will not stop until the whole world makes saving the earth a priority.
