Singapore Events and Outreach

All of us at Wildlife Alliance, especially Wildlife Rescue Director Nick Marx and International Development Manager Amy Van Nice, extend our thanks to the National University of Singapore and to International Advisory Board member Carmen Pang-Foote for hosting us last week.

The presentation at the National University of Singapore was excellent and everyone asked good questions. We were delighted by the enthusiasm of the participants: one audience member actually gave our staff a hug to thank us for we are doing! The NUS Law School staff has already asked if we’d be interested in coming back in 2012, which was a big compliment!

Carmen and her husband Tim were great hosts, and they set up a happy hour for us to engage with friends and other wildlife lovers. During our visit, we were able to tour ACRES, where Nick has spoken at past events like Asia for Animals, for a tour and lunch with the staff. We were delighted to see the progress they are making in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, and we may be able to collaborate as they begin setting up a rescue center in Laos.

Many thanks to all who attended and helped us set up our outreach in Singapore this week - we look forward to seeing you again!

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!
