Sharon Matola, manager of the Belize Zoo, spoke Tuesday at Boise State University, which has made their campus read the book, “The Last Flight of the Scarlett Macaw: One Woman’s Fight to Save the World’s Most Beautiful Bird.” Sounds like it went well.
"Before she gave her speech, Matola ate dinner with a few students and faculty, including ASBSU President Ryan Gregg. 'When you talk to Sharon you really realize that she’s a person who is very thoughtful and she really cares about what you’re saying,' Gregg said. 'You can tell that she cares a lot about the things that she wrote about, and that she continues to write about. You can tell that she cares about the Belize Zoo a lot, and about the Macaw population.' During the question-answer session with the Honors College, students asked question and discussed many issues with Matola. 'It was cool to see how passionate she is about animals,' said freshman Shelby Butts. 'She seems like a very genuine person and it was interesting to find out that she actually has not read the final copy of the book.'"
