Join us for our next installment of the 2009-2010 Call of the Wild Speaker Series. Enjoy an evening of hors d’oeuvres, breathtaking photographs and first-hand stories from conservationists on the frontlines in the battle to help save the world’s wildlife.
January 28th, 2010: Dr. Susie Ellis, Executive Director, International Rhino Foundation: The International Rhino Foundation is dedicated to the survival of the world’s rhino species through conservation and research. While all five rhino species remain in terrible peril from poaching, forest loss and habitat conversion, and from human settlements encroaching on their habitats in Africa, Indonesia, and India – all are in better shape than might be expected because of the International Rhino Foundation’s work.
