Admiralty Audubon presents a program about Madagascar with Betsy Carlson at 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 20 at the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St.
Carlson lived for six years on the big red island of Madagascar, from 1990 to 1991, and again from 1996 to 2001. She assisted Eleanor Sterling, who at the time was a Ph.D. candidate researching the aye-aye, a nocturnal primate found only in Madagascar. Sponsored in part by Yale University and Kew Botanical Gardens, Carlson collected plants and forest habitat data from Nosy Mangabe, a small protected island off the eastern coast of Madagascar, and many other parts of Madagascar. In 1996, she returned to Madagascar as the associate director of the Peace Corps’ Madagascar Environment program.
Carlson is the citizen science coordinator for the Port Townsend Marine Science Center.
