LWI Annual General Meeting And
Banquet
LWI Annual General Meeting And Banquet
The guest speaker will be Malcolm Boyd, past president of LWI. He will describe some of the wonders of the Galapagos Islands, as experienced on a trip in November 2010. A year after the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth, the focus is on preserving his legacy. Penguins on the equator, flightless cormorants, islands that are moving away from their point of origin and evolving over time, all these wonders now need protection from growth of population and tourism. |
