Wildlife Conservation Day

Wildlife Conservation Day brings together experts, alumni, and students to discuss challenges and opportunities in wildlife health.

On Saturday six speakers shared their experiences addressing issues related to conservation, wildlife, and one health.  The topics were wide-ranging, covering conservation of endangered species, zoo animal nutrition, plastic waste, and honeybee health.  For every topic the speakers highlighted the importance of wildlife health and the role of the veterinarian.

During this 1st annual event, ZAWS will be bringing a selection of diverse speakers, lecturing on topics ranging from the role of reproduction in conservation, the effects of plastic on biodiversity loss, and the importance of nutrition for wildlife conservation.
