PRESENT THE ANNUAL RICHARD E. HEISE, JR. WILDLIFE LECTURE

“THE PENGUINS OF THE WORLD” THURSDAY, MARCH 10, 2011, 8 PM

BLUE HERON ROOM, QUIET WATERS PARK, ANNAPOLIS

$5 Donation at Door — Refreshments Served

Steven J. Sarro, Director of Animal Programs for the National Aviary
and Species Survival Plan Coordinator for the African Penguin, will
speak about penguins of the world. Global warming, over fishing, oil
spills, and habitat destruction are just a few of the challenges
penguins face. Mr. Sarro will speak about penguins in general and
focus on African penguins, a newly endangered species.

Mr. Sarro has a B.S. in Biological Sciences from the University of
Delaware and has 28 years of experience as an animal care professional
working with birds, mammals, and fish of captive populations and in
the wild. Mr. Sarro was one of the first responders during the 2000
Treasure Oil Spill in South Africa. The oil spill affected 44,000
African penguins, approximately one-third of the world population at
that time. Since that rescue event, the African penguin population
declined further to 60,000 birds in 2008.

As Director of Animal Programs at the National Aviary, Mr. Sarro is in
a key position to impact our perception of penguins and to influence
their conservation.
