He has won five Emmy Awards for his work on the nature documentary programs; Dreams of Alaska, The Amazon & Beyond, Alligator Love, and Dreams of the Rain Forest.Harpy Eagle Project – Panama In 1993, I initiated a collaborative effort with the government of Panama to raise awareness about the harpy eagle and the important role it plays in the tropical forests of that country. What started as a grass roots effort led to a national campaign that eventually resulted in the Panamanian government officially declaring the harpy eagle the National Bird of the Republic. A public/private partnership developed with key corporate entities in Panama and the U.S. resulted in the building of one of the largest Harpy Eagle centers in the world, and the Harpy Eagle is now a cultural icon throughout Panama. My presentation will show how this project developed and provide interesting insight into this magnificent raptor!
