A Bird with No Name

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Professional violinist and amateur conservationist
Julia Robinson-Dean was thrilled when she found a new species of bird in Indonesia. But excitement gave way to a serious ethical dilemma. Her photos, notes and DNA samples were not enough to give the bird a name - and that meant it could not be given international protection. Scientists were unanimous: a specimen was required. If she wanted to help the birds she had found, Julia had to return to the island and kill one. This is her Story. Producer Lynne Mennie (R)
