The Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute’s [BUEI] Talks series is getting set to present ‘Planet Madagascar’ by Travis Steffens on May 14 and May 19.

The event poster says, “Come and experience the marvels of Madagascar whilst learning about the environmental and social issues plaguing this beautiful island and how they are being resolved. Get your passports ready as you’ll want to head over to Madagascar after experiencing this exciting presentation.

“Don’t forget to visit the Madagascar exhibit at Bermuda’s Aquarium, Museum & Zoo – a taste of Madagascar right in Bermuda.”
