| dc.description.abstract | "The Natural Treasure in Our Own Backyard: A Multimedia Science Story," follows a rare, Threatened frog from downtown Bend, Oregon, throughout the Deschutes River watershed to uncover how humans and nature can coexist. Through a combination of immersive multimedia and journalistic storytelling, the work visualizes the themes of community, conservation, and coexistence. The narrative begins with the discovery of the Oregon spotted frog in an unexpected suburban pond, leading to encounters with local conservationists and scientists dedicated to preserving this species. By integrating video, audio, maps, and photographs, the thesis aims to foster a deeper appreciation for local ecosystems and the often-overlooked natural treasures within them. This multimedia approach not only documents the ecological significance of the Oregon spotted frog but also emphasizes the importance of community engagement in conservation efforts. Ultimately, this work seeks to inspire a sense of wonder and responsibility towards the natural world, encouraging audiences to recognize and protect the biodiversity in their own backyards. | en_US |
