What does a biologist do when she sees a species in danger? She starts a movement. How do you do that? Join National Geographic grantee Dr. Lisa Dabek as she recalls the journey that led her to Papua New Guinea, the birds-of-paradise, and the creation of the Tree Kangaroo Conservation Program. Private exhibition viewing, cocktails, and light fare included.

Learn more about the conservation program here.
