The last Survivors talk and exhibition

Wednesday 14^th July 2010 , 19:30-23:00

Dr Jose Nunez-Mino of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, field project manager of the last Survivors project, will be giving a series of talks in London. The theme of this talk is "One island - two stories".

These exclusive talks will be held on the 9th and 14th July at The Apothecary gallery.

The Island of Hispaniola is shared by two neighbouring countries, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Neighbours they may be but in many ways they are worlds apart in terms of culture, development and the state of their environment. Haiti is hailed as an example of what can happen if overexploitation is left unchecked while the Dominican Republic has nearly 30% of its land within protected areas. Regardless of many of the differences that will be raised during this talk, the future of both countries is intricately tied together. Three main questions will be addressed from the conservation perspective: What events have led to the present environmental state of Hispaniola? What is the state of play today? And what future challenges and solutions are there?
