This Is an Absolute “Can’t Miss” Event!

Dr. Bruce Beehler and Bowerbird in FojasFeatured on CBS 60 Minutes on December 16, 2007, the eminent ornithologist, ecologist, and conservationist Bruce Beehler of Conservation International will present a lecture about his two trips in 2005 and 2007 to the Foja Mountains in the Indonesian section of New Guinea – “a place as close to the Garden of Eden as you can get” untouched by humans, a world of strange and hauntingly beautiful birds, many of them never before seen by man. The presentation will include video clips of the displays of the Golden-fronted Bowerbird and Black Sicklebill.

Bruce Beehler’s latest book entitled Lost Worlds, focusing on rainforests of the world, will be for sale at the lecture.

The CBS 60 Minutes story on Dr. Beehler, including video clips, can be found at www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/12/13/60minutes/main3615385.shtml

The program is free and open to the public.
