[BERG] BERG on Wednesday 22nd April - earlier time of 5pm - Companion animals

[Hannah Buchanan-Smith]

Dear BERGers

We had a really interesting BERG this week, joined by many leading animal welfare scientists from across the world (see photos of previous BERG meetings - shared with consent from all, privacy note attached)!

Our discussion focused on the impact of the pandemic and lockdown on zoos - this is a good podcast<https://www.facebook.com/AgathaTheTortoise/posts/this-week-on-the-tortoise-podcast-were-going-to-the-zoo-its-a-really-emotional-t/659919814583884/> from Sharon Redrobe of Twycross, highlighting some of the issues zoos face.

Next week - 22nd April (Earth Day), BERG will be at the earlier time of 5.00-5.45pm (please join from 4.55pm). The topic is the impact of the pandemic and lockdown on companion animals.
This is your preparation  -   https://www.companionanimals.nz/covidupdates/

The reasons for the earlier time is because there an Online Panel Discussion: Ape Conservation and Zoonotic Diseases - April 22nd @ 6pm BST - Full details and how to register in the next message. (You need to register)

Phyllis Lee will lead a discussion on Rewilding the following week - Wed April 29th at 5.30pm.
