Life of the Secret Forest
Dra. Angelina Martínez Yrizar, Instituto de Ecología, Universidad Autónoma de México
Eminent Mexican ecologist Angelina Martínez Yrizar will connect us to the life of a secret forest that the pulses with the monsoons. The tropical dry forest is a land of two faces: dry and austere during the rainless months, verdant and teaming with life upon the summer rains. Located across a steep elevational gradient from the coast up through pine forests, the forest is home to a dazzling array of life, including beaded lizards, oaks festooned with orchids, military macaws, and dozens of jaguars.
