Mary Dagg, CEO of the Anne Innis Dagg Foundation, will speak to the Probus Club of Oshawa on the life of her mother, Dr Anne Innis Dagg, who was the first Western person to study giraffes in the wild in the 1950s and "wrote the bible" about giraffe ecology, behaviour and conservation. Mary will touch on Anne finding her passion for giraffes at the age of three and traveling solo to Africa in her 20s three years before Jane Goodall. She will also highlight the challenges that Anne faced as a woman in science, how it derailed her career and how she fought back. There will also be a section about the unique characteristics of giraffes.
