Time: 10:00 AM
Location: Whitney Center, 200 Leeder Hill Drive. Hamden, CT 06517-2749

Program

Our speaker will be author and investigative journalist Jessica Speart
whose focus is on wildlife law enforcement, endangered species issues, and
the environment. Speart created her sleuth, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agent
Rachel Porter, after years of investigating wildlife and drug trafficking
crimes for publications such as the *New York Sunday Times Magazine, Omni,
Travel & Leisure, Audubon, National Wildlife, Mother Jones, Wildlife
Conservation, Earth Journal* and *Animals Magazine*, among others. When she
began to find the characters she covered stranger than fiction, she decided
to turn her pen toward mysteries. In 2011, she published the non-fiction
book *Winged Obsession, the Pursuit of the World’s Most Notorious Butterfly
Smuggler** *which recounts the work of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agent to
bring to justice a prolific smuggler of rare and endangered butterflies.
She will speak on the business of illegal wildlife trafficking and the
research that went into creating *Winged Obsession*. She will be available
for book signing, and copies of her books will be available for purchase.
