Rob’s work focuses on avian habitat conservation and reforestation in the Q’eqchi’ Maya villages surrounding the last great cloud forests of Guatemala’s central highlands, the Sierra Yalijux. This presentation, rich in the sights and sounds of the cloud forests, finds a unique intersection between Q’eqchi’ Maya culture, their birds, and the huge conservation challenge in this developing country.
