Fascination Science public lecture tonight (Tuesday 31 July) - Snake conservation in the Galapagos Islands
Our next lecture in the Fascination Science series is on Tuesday 31st July 7pm-8.30pm at Massey University's Auckland campus in Albany in the Sir Neil Waters lecture theatre.
Snake conservation in the Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos Islands hold a special place in the history of science thanks to their role in helping Charles Darwin formulate his ideas about evolution. More recently, these remote islands have taken centre stage in ecological research and conservation.
Dr Luis Ortiz-Catedral will talk about his research on Galapagos snakes, how a single 182-year old museum specimen holds the key to guide the largest ecological restoration project on these islands, and his mentorship programme to stimulate young Ecuadorians to pursue a career in conservation science.
