Return to the wild: How can we recover Extinct in the Wild species?

Tuesday 8 March 2021, 6:00pm – 7:30pm
 
Species facing imminent extirpation from the wild are sometimes able to be rescued into zoos, aquariums, or botanical gardens before extinction. But what happens next for these species? Can they be restored back to the wild? Are there any lessons we can learn from the fates of different extinct in the wild species and what is next for the 80 species currently listed as extinct in the wild? In this event, we will explore the successes and challenges around recovery efforts for different extinct in the wild species.
 
Speakers include:
Dr Axel Moehrenschlager, Chair IUCN SSC Conservation Translocation Specialist Group, and Director of Conservation & Science, Calgary Zoo Foundation
Dr Sarah E. Dalrymple, Liverpool John Moores University
