Scientist and conservationist Dr. Alan Rabinowitz and Irish film director Jim Sheridan on this edition of Fresh Air. Dr. Alan Rabinowitz has been called the "Indiana Jones" of wildlife science. He is Director of the Science and Exploration Program at the Wildlife Conservation Society, based at the Bronx Zoo in New York. In 1985 his research in Belize resulted in the world's first jaguar sanctuary. Since then he has spearheaded the preservation of vast tracts of wilderness land around the globe. The survival of the Jaguar is now in jeopardy. Rabinowitz's work to save nature's largest cat is featured in the new National Geographic special "In Search of the Jaguar". Rabinowitz is the author of three books, Jaguar, Chasing the Dragon's Tale, and Beyond the Last Village. Two years ago he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. Irish film director Jim Sheridan's best known films, My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father are the stories of Christy Brown and Gerry Conlon, respectively. His new film In America is based in part on his own experiences as an Irish emigre coming to the United States with a family of four. They arrived flat broke in the midst of the summer heat and moved into New York City's Hell's Kitchen. (Broadcast Date: November 13, 2003)
