ZSL Science and Conservation Events
An essential part of ZSL's work is to communicate relevant, high-quality zoological and conservation science. The integrated programme of events includes Symposia, and the new 'Wildlife Conservation' and 'Communicating Science' series. Topics cover a wide variety of zoological and conservation themes, and international experts present and discuss their research.
Held monthly throughout the academic year, ZSL's Science and Conservation Events facilitate the exchange of ideas and research between professional zoologists, conservation practitioners, policy makers and the public.
To join the ZSL Science and Conservation Events (e-)mailing list, please enter your details here or please contact Joy Hayward if you would like us to post a copy of the programme (contact details below; printed programmes and a complete list of events will be available from mid-September).
