Upcoming Events and Updates

Wildlife Alliance staff have been crisscrossing the country appearing at some of the key meetings for species and habitat conservation. It has been great to see so many of our partners and donors! At the Association of Zoos and Aquariums conference in Atlanta, we coordinated on our wildlife rescue and education programs with important donors including the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund, the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, and the Landry’s Aquariums. Thank you to all of them for their steadfast support! At the launch of the “Conservation Council of Nations” in New York, we were honored to meet with leading government, NGO, and corporate partners in global conservation, working to integrate species and habitat conservation goals into the global agenda.

In the next week: Meet Nick Marx in Singapore at a happy hour hosted by Advisory Board member Carmen Pang, followed by a speaking engagement on his work in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation at the National University of Singapore.

We will also be tabling at the Wildlife Conservation Expo in San Francisco on Oct. 1st. The Expo is a great opportunity to learn about species conservation programs around the world, and meet with organizations and wildlife experts working to save wildlife from extinction. We encourage you to join us in Singapore or San Francisco!
