Friday, June 19 at the Fray Angelico Chavez History Library
Award-winning author and
conservationist William deBuys speaks on and signs copies of his latest book
and joins us for a reception honoring the museum’s acquisition of his papers.
The Fray Angélico Chávez History Library hosts this free event on Friday, June
19, 5:30–7:30 pm, in the museum auditorium, with light refreshments in the
lobby.
In 1992, in a remote
mountain range, a team of scientists discovered the remains of an unusual
animal with beautiful long horns. It turned out to be a living species new to
Western science—a saola, the first large land mammal discovered in 50 years.
Rare then and rarer now, a live saola had never been glimpsed by Westerners in
the wild when deBuys and conservation biologist William Robichaud set off to
search for the animal in the wilds of central Laos. They endured a punishing
trek, whitewater rivers and mountainous terrain ribboned with snare lines set
by armed poachers.
The
Last Unicorn: A Search for One of Earth’s Rarest Creatures (Little, Brown and Company, 2015) is
deBuys’ look deep into one of the world’s most remote places. His journey
becomes a quest for the essence of wildness in nature and an encounter with
beauty.
An
extra treat: Meet
photographer Jennifer Schlesinger at the 5 pm opening of the museum’s newest
exhibit, Along
the Pecos,
featuring soundscapes by the late composer Steven M. Miller.
