Can’t make it to the Festival? The jewel in HISH’s National Science Week crown is hosting world expert on orangutan conservation, Dr Birute Galdikas, at the Civic Theatre on Tuesday 6 August 2024.  The one night only presentation in Newcastle will be Dr Galdikas’ only Australian lecture, MC’d by the charismatic ABC presenter Ann Jones. Tickets for Orangutans A Conservation Legacy are going fast. Funds raised from the lecture will assist Dr Galdikas in her continued work in Borneo.
