The Bird Friendly Coffee Movement
September 14, 2011 John Sterling presents the evening program presentation for Los Angeles Audubon.
John will be presenting the research supporting the Bird-Friendly Coffee movement. He will discuss why some coffee farms are better than others for birds, why good coffee farms are critical for conservation, and will illustrate his talk with photos of birds from coffee farms in Latin America and Sumatra.
John Sterling is an independent ornithologist, tour leader, wildlife photographer, instructor and conservation biologist. He has been birding very actively since 1971, and embarked on a career in ornithology while as a student at Humboldt State University in 1979.
As an avid California birder, he has accumulated detailed knowledge of bird distribution and status throughout the state and is currently writing a book on that subject. As an ornithologist and environmental consultant, John has studied the ecology and conservation of birds as well as the regulatory processes that seek to preserve them.
