Zoology: Saving Punta San Juan: Peru19

Dr. Matt Allender, a veterinarian and clinical assistant professor at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, opened the main gates to the Punta San Juan coastal reserve. The reserve is on a peninsula which was walled off in the 1940s to protect the spot for harvesting guano from the nesting shorebirds to be used as fertilizer.
