Science: Mammalian Diversity in the Philippines The Philippine Islands have the greatest concentration (per unit area) of unique mammals of any country—from giant and tiny bats to striped “earth mice” and soft-furred hedgehogs. Field Museum Researcher Lawrence Heaney will explore the geological history and current geography that makes all of this possible, and consider the issues involved in conserving this unique fauna. A three-course lunch is served on Mondays at noon. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for check-in and socializing. Reservations required, CLICK HERE or call the office at 708-386-2729.
