Leo Douglas is currently a lecturer at Columbia University, with a
strong interest in the social and ecological impacts of human /
wildlife conflicts will be giving the Monday Night Seminar at the Lab
of Ornithology tomorrow at 7:30pm. While he hails from Jamaica, his
talk will focus on his research in the Caribbean island of Dominica
which has had success in furthering conservation by utilizing the
beautiful Imperial Parrot as a "Flagship" species.
"Flagship or Battleship? Unintended consequences of the use of an
Amazona parrot as a conservation flagship in the Caribbean" by Leo
Douglas
This should be a very interesting talk and given the trend in
conservation of focusing conservation campaigns on single species,
it'll be illuminating as well.
I encourage everyone who can to attend this one.
Cheers,
Jeff
