    Greetings!

    Most of Austin is still recovering from last week's historic winter storm (140-170 hrs below freezing in Travis Co.!), so this month's Austin
    Butterfly Forum presentation on Cuba and it's butterflies by Marc Minno
    should be a most welcome diversion!

    This Zoom meeting is open to all! Please click this link to start joining
    in at 6:30 pm (Central Time) tonight, February 22. Meeting will start at
    7:00.

    *Exploring a Tropical Paradise: Cuba and Its Fantastic Biodiversity, *presented by Marc C. Minno, Ph.D.

    Since 2011, I have been working with volunteers and Cuban scientists to
    explore Cuba's extraordinary natural areas, document flora and fauna, and assess the conservation needs of the rarest butterflies. Cuba has some
    plant communities that are similar to those in South Florida including
    mangrove swamps, freshwater marshes, and dry tropical forests, but others
    have no equivalent such as savannas, scrubs, and pinelands on serpentine
    soils, moist tropical forests in the mountains, and arid, rocky shrublands.
    The island is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots with many endemic
    plants and animals. At least 210 different kinds of butterflies have been reported from Cuba and about 40% are unique to the island. Butterflies are often good at dispersing and there is exchange with Mexico, Hispaniola,
    south Florida, and other widely separated places. This presentation will
    give an overview of Cuban culture, landscapes, and biodiversity.
    Bio: Dr. Minno has a Ph.D. in zoology and more than 30 years of
    professional experience as an interdisciplinary scientist. He is currently
    a Water Resource Coordinator with the Suwannee River Water Management
    District in Live Oak, Florida. Marc and Maria Minno also work on plant and butterfly projects throughout Florida via Eco-Cognizant, Inc., their
    home-based consulting business. In addition to his many years of experience with wetlands, Dr. Minno is keenly interested in conservation biology and
    has conducted field research throughout the US and in Central America,
    South America, Caribbean, Europe, and India. Since 2011 Dr. Minno has been working with biologists in Cuba to better understand the ecological relationships of imperiled butterflies in southern Florida. He has
    authored/ coauthored six books and six book chapters on butterflies and
    plants.
