If you are unable to see Noppadol’s talk in Fort Collins, we hope you can make it to his encore presentation at Denver Museum of Nature & Science on Tuesday, Feb 12 – click here for details!
Join us for a special presentation by award-winning photographer Noppadol Paothong as he presents the extraordinary story of life, natural history and the unique spring courtship behaviors of sage-grouse that he’s captured for last the last 17 years through stunning visuals.
Through his latest book Sage Grouse, Icon of the West, Noppadol strives to rescue grassland grouse from the brink of extinction by sharing what we stand to lose if these species disappear. He hopes to increase the understanding of its value and plight, and encourage discussion about conservation in ways that will benefit all – humans and wildlife – that live in and near sage-grouse habitat. Noppadol will share his amazing photographs that depict the dazzling beauty of sage-grouse species whose populations are diminishing across the prairies and plains of America. He’ll also explore conservation efforts underway to conserve these species for future generations to enjoy.
