Geologist Roger Kuhns will present “Jungle Gold,” a monologue about his experiences in French Guyana, Thursday, April 24 at 5:30 p.m. in Green House.
The talk is free and open to the public.
While conducting research in the rainforest of French Guyana, Kuhns discovered a treasure he considered more valuable than gold. “Jungle Gold” is the true story of the drama, humor and life lessons learned from attempting to balance the opposing forces of multi-national interests and the indigenous people.
Kuhns left the mineral exploration industry many years ago and now works for a large consulting company that develops environmentally sound projects. He delivers talks about his experiences in South America, Africa and Russia to provide an insider’s perspective on the delicate state of the ecosystem in these areas.
