CLP Alumni: Where Are They Now? Weber Silva was in his early twenties when he went on a field trip to an area of Chapada do Araripe, Ceara, in north east Brazil in 1996. There, he and Professor Galileu Coelha discovered a new species of bird, the Araripe manakin (Antilophia bokermanni) striking in appearance and with a call to match - it has become an emblem for the conservation of the whole region.
Fourteen years later, Weber is programme coordinator of a CLP-funded Conservation Leadership project ($50,000) which will consolidate the results achieved during two previous CLP-funded projects and ultimately create a fully protected area in the Araripe region.
