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 Wildlife Conservation and Communicating Science lecture 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.
