The title of his talk is "Conservation in Lebanon, the Middle East". Lebanon has one of the most important bird migration routes in the world.  Since 1996, Chris and the A Rocha Lebanon team have worked to more than double the number of Important Bird Areas in Lebanon, increase the Aammiq Wetland by 20%, and offer educational opportunities to nearly 6000 elementary through university students on conservation and creation care.
