<p class="MsoNormal">Robert Gallardo is hosting a butterfly tour for the Lake Yajoa region. The primary focus will be Emerald Valley, know to support over 700 species. Robert has encouraged luxurious stands of mist flower in the Valley, which when in full
bloom (and it should be in January) pulls butterflies that are seldom seen down from the adjacent forest canopy. An trip extension to higher altitude forest is available. Multiple travel agents in the US and Europe are working to support this trip.

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Proceeds from the Tour will be used to publish an identification guide to the butterflies of Honduras. The book is already finished and will contain over 100 pages of color photos of nearly 1,200 species (in all 6 families) that occur
in Honduras. Concise text will also be given for each species. Robert previously published the "Guide to the Birds of Honduras", and this is a similar effort designed to enhance ecotourism opportunities in a biologically rich country that could use some
incentive to enhance conservation. <o:p></o:p></p>
