About the event
Explorers Club Visiting Explorer Program with John Fowler
John Fowler, author of "A Forest in the Clouds: A Year Among the Mountain Gorillas in the Remote Enclave of Dian Fossey," will talk about the original Karisoke Research Center of the mysterious and controversial Dian Fossey - who he knew quite well. With photos of then and now, Fowler will take us back to that remote enclave located 10,000 feet up in the Virunga Volcanoes of Rwanda, Africa, a time when mountain gorilla conservation, research and tourism was in its infancy, showing us celebrated gorillas of that time, whose progeny would become the remaining survivors of their endangered subspecies in an era of new hope.
John will be available to sign copies of the book after his presentation.
