Join Dr. George W. Scotter, a long-term member of CONC, on a circle trip throughout much of Namibia. Visit the World Heritage sites at Twylfelfontein to see 6,000-year-old rock art and the Namib desert to climb the massive sand dunes. Enjoy the mammals, large and small, and dozens of birds at Etosha National Park and other areas. Gain an understanding of the threats to species such as Cheetahs and Black Rhinoceros and the role of ecotourism in sustaining those populations. Meet one of the strangest plants in the world – Welwitchia mirablis. George Scotter was a research scientist and research director for the Canadian Wildlife Service, Environment Canada, for 30 years. He was also a professor at the Utah State University, University of Alberta, and University of Manitoba. He is a past president of Nature Canada, and has been active in local and provincial nature groups
