Matt Eade – Introducing Papua New Guinea
12th October 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Matt grew up in East Sussex and was introduced to the natural world at the age of seven when he set out to learn about birds and then butterflies, dragonflies and orchids, these being his main interests. Since 2011 when Matt went on his first birding trip to South Africa, he has travelled to all seven continents and is soon to embark on an expedition from New Zealand to Japan, with many remote islands in-between.
Papua New Guinea is home to many hidden wildlife secrets, especially, Birds of Paradise, which live in some very remote regions. Matt will talk about his 2019 expedition when he spent a month venturing to all corners of the country in search of its hidden gems, to areas rarely visited by western travellers.
