Dr. Peter Raven at the St. Louis Zoo: Saving the Forest, Saving Ourselves!

Cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and an enlightening talk by Dr. Peter Raven (President Emeritus of the Missouri Botanical Garden and a Time Magazine "Hero of the Planet") about global conservation issues, why we depend on rainforests to live healthy lives, and the importance of the world-renowned but threatened Children's Eternal Rainforest in Monteverde, Costa Rica.

This conservation awareness and fundraising forum is free, but pre-registration is strongly suggested and donations in support of the Children's Eternal Rainforest are encouraged.
