Dancing With Cranes - Conservation Lecture at the Palm Beach Zoo

Description

Dancing With Cranes
Dr. George Archibald
Join us for an evening with a visionary leader in international conservation and his work over the last 40 years with these beautiful and important birds. Thursday, January 28, 6-8pm.
Dr. George Archibald’s visionary leadership in international conservation efforts over the past 40 years has given flight to crane conservation worldwide. In 1973, when cranes were in a perilous situation and many were on the brink of extinction, Archibald, along with Cornell University colleague, Ronald Sauey, Ph.D., established the International Crane Foundation (ICF) in Baraboo, Wisconsin as the world center for the study and preservation of cranes. Today, ICF has over 50 employees and supports conservation projects in 45 countries. Archibald is a true conservation ambassador who uses his unique brand of crane diplomacy to work in sensitive places. He leverages the charisma of cranes to unite people from diverse cultures and countries to work together to preserve the landscapes necessary for the survival of both cranes and people.
Doors open at 6 pm for this event, please enter through the Zoo’s admission gate.
Cocktails & passed hors d'oeuvres included. Animal experiences will take place throughout the cocktail hour.  Please purchase tickets in advance online.
