Join us for an evening of light-hearted discussion as we investigate what it is like to search for and study an animal on the brink of extinction.
Join us for an evening of light-hearted discussion as we investigate what it is like to search for and study an animal on the brink of extinction. How do conservation organisations go about choosing what to save? What is life like trekking through jungles and swamps looking for an animal that only exists in double figures? If you find it, how would you try and protect it? What are the challenges in communicating conservation messages when it comes to endangered species?
With an expert panel of field researchers and leading conservationists, join us to celebrate International Day of Biodiversity and the Year of Forests.
This event is free and there is no need to book. Following the talk join us for a free glass of wine in a private view of the new Museum.
The lively panel includes extinction expert Sam Turvey (Zoological Society of London), Helen Thirlway (Director at International Primate Protection League (UK)), gibbonologist Helen Chatterjee (UCL Genetics, Evolution and the Environment), and conservation ecologist Jessica Bryant (UCL Genetics, Evolution and the Environment and Zoological Society of London).
