Jennings, along with photographer Tim Laman, documented the plight of the orangutans for <em>Mission Critical<\/em>, a show\u00a0set to debut on\u00a0National Geographic in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Jennings finds his real passion in activism, though. He&#8217;s\u00a0a member of\u00a0Portland Rising Tide, a group that\u2019s been protesting proposed fossil fuel port facilities in the Northwest since 2007. Portland Rising Tide has tried nearly everything from hanging from bridges and blocking train tracks to lobbying elected officials. So far, they&#8217;ve been successful in stopping most construction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to expect in 2016:<\/strong> Jennings has several projects in production this year. The first is a show for PBS\u00a0that\u00a0follows what\u2019s happened since privately owned cattle were stopped\u00a0from\u00a0grazing on Oregon&#8217;s Hart Mountain 25 years ago. The policy change allowed threatened\u00a0species\u00a0like\u00a0the sage grouse to make a comeback, and has led to an explosion in biodiversity in one of Oregon\u2019s iconic landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>Jennings is also working on a story about the roots of &#8220;houselessness&#8221; in Portland. &#8220;We&#8217;ll be looking at gentrification and racism in the city from its very early days to the present,&#8221; he\u00a0says, &#8220;and the thing that will really set this project apart is the amount of engagement from the houseless community.&#8221; He&#8217;s also working on another (top secret!)\u00a0project with National Geographic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fun fact:<\/strong> Jennings is\u00a0a former professional kayaker who has paddled over 100-foot waterfalls and led first descents around the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guilty pleasure:<\/strong> Vegenaise. \u201cI put that shit on everything,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the leaders shaping green in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76839540,"featured_media":490339,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"coauthors":[9],"class_list":["post-317716","grist-50-profiles","type-grist-50-profiles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","grist-50-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
