Frans Lanting LIFE: A Journey Through Time Draws Crowd

Last evening, many WILD9 delegates and resident of Merida enjoyed Frans Lanting’s LIFE: A Journey Through Time/Una Travesia por el Tiempo at the Gran Salon de Club Campestre in Merida.   The evening started with several short speeches, including a welcome by Vance Martin, President of The WILD Foundation and Chair of the WILD9 Executive Committee and an impromptu welcome by Patricio Robles Gil, renowned photographer and conservationist.
