Inspiring conservation through zoo science and public engagement

We celebrate the power of science and storytelling to shape a better future for wildlife. In an era of increasing biodiversity loss, zoos and aquariums remain uniquely positioned as hubs for conservation research, education, and public engagement. The 6th IMZRCB committee invites you to share knowledge, form new collaborations, and explore how zoo-based science can spark meaningful action – from local communities to global initiatives. Together we’ll highlight the impact of engaging hearts and minds in the mission to learn about, understand and protect our planet’s vulnerable species.
