The recent European Association of Zoos and Aquaria online annual conference was an enormous success, bringing together participants from all around the world to further develop the role of zoos and aquaria in conservation and animal welfare.
JMICAWE’s Heather Bacon was delighted to deliver a plenary presentation on welfare assessment in aging zoo animals, and a more comprehensive version of this presentation will be delivered in November as a webinar. The plenary session was attended by 689 participants and was the most attended session of the conference, highlighting the enthusiasm within the zoo community to engage in zoo animal welfare.
