TBF Assists a Nation's President Set a New Standard for Billfish Conservation
Lima, Peru. Peru's President Allan Garcia and Minister of Production Rafael Rey, with the assistance of The Billfish Foundation (TBF) and world renowned film maker and conservationist, Dan Winitzky, stepped forward onto the world conservation stage, going where no national leader has gone before. "Winitzky was the hinge," said TBF President Ellen Peel, "between TBF's technical expertise and Peru's government in making this giant conservation step for billfish a reality." One of Winitzky's conservation films led the successful campaign in Peru to save one of National Geographic's Society Seven Iconic Natural Sanctuaries – the Bahuaja Sonene Park (Candamo), which comprises 1,092,142 hectares of Peru's lowland and montane rainforest.
