Session Description
A panel discussion that will challenge the status quo, understand the ambitions, challenges and barriers to successful Breeding and Rewilding programmes for critically endangered species in Africa. A look into the new technologies being used to accelerate the tracking, breeding and health of the animals in our programmes. Including an international research and organisational capacity partner of the conservancy, Chester Zoo for mutual understanding, building capacity across both organisations.
