Do you know who laid these spectacular eggs? These are African jacana eggs. From bird eggs to rhinos, Shelli Dubay and Kevin Russell are going to discuss their trips to Botswana and South Africa in 2007, and to South Africa and Zambia in 2010. In addition to pictures of the wildlife they saw, Shelli and Kevin will talk about the impact of ecotourism. What should you consider in planning a trip to remote and sensitive areas?
