Ivohiboro : The Lost Forest Screening at The Little Theater

This documentary is a reminder that there is still so much to discover!

The film follows an expedition into Madagascar’s Ivohiboro Forest, a small, previously unexplored forest rich with biodiversity. Led by primatologist and professor Patricia Wright, recipient of our 2022 Conservation Warrior award, the team worked to document an ecosystem few had studied before. Seneca Park Zoo’s Brenna De Angelis and Tom Snyder were among the scientists contributing to this research and will be on the panel with Dr.Wright after the film!
