Indianapolis Prize Woods Lecture: A Global Conversation with Indianapolis Prize Winner – Dr. Lily-Arison René de Roland
Renowned conservationist Dr. Lily-Arison René de Roland, the Peregrine Fund’s national director of its Madagascar Program, will share his journey from rediscovering species in Madagascar, thought to be extinct, to winning the Indianapolis Zoo’s Indianapolis Prize for his critical work. Dr. Rene de Roland will be joined by his colleague, from the Peregrine Fund, Dr. Stéphanie Razakaratrimo, who will expand on how their collective work is having a positive impact on species in the wild.
In tandem with the Indianapolis Zoo’s biennial awarding of the Indianapolis Prize, Butler University hosts a lecture each Monday evening following the Indy Prize Gala. The lecture, which is part of the J. James Woods Lecture Series, is free and open to the public.
