Significant contributions by professional zoologists are acknowledged with the Scientific and Frink Medals, while the work of eminent amateur zoologists is celebrated with the Stamford Raffles Award. The Marsh Awards for Conservation Biology and Marine and Freshwater Conservation recognise exceptional contributions of fundamental science to the conservation of animal species and habitats. The Thomson Reuters Zoological Record Award and ZSL’s Silver Medal are awarded for distinguished contributions to the communication, understanding and appreciation of zoology and wildlife conservation.
We would like to thank the Marsh Christian Trust and Thomson Reuters for their continued support of ZSL’s awards.
