Momentos Naturales! “Nature Moments” Takes Root in Colombia

Nat Wheelwright’s beloved “Nature Moments” video series was so well-received, he and his wife, Bowdoin professor Genie Wheelwright, decided to take the show on the road — to South America!

As part of a Fulbright program this fall, Nat worked with students in Colombia to develop a new suite of Momentos Naturales — “short videos in Spanish about animals and plants that just about anyone in Latin America can easily find near their home, whether they live in the countryside or in the city.”

The Bowdoin website describes the project:

All the photographers, writers and producers of the videos are students of the course “Production of nature videos: natural history of Colombia”, which took place at the Universidad del Valle, Cali in 2018 under the instruction of recently retired Bowdoin Professors Nat and Genie Wheelwright and inspired by Nat’s Nature Moments series.
