Announcements
AZA is partnering with Polar Bear International (PBI)! In late October, Dr. Debi Colbert, AZA VP of Conservation, joined PBI in Churchill and met with researchers, gave lectures, and participated in a webcast about polar bear ecology, global climate change, and the impact AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums have on conservation. Live webcasts from Churchill featuring animal and climate change experts will continue next week at 12 PM EST on November 9, 10 and 11. Please tune in!
