Each conference presentation is 20 minutes in length, with approximately five minutes allotted for questions and answers afterwards. The conference organizers are looking for presentations that highlight new initiatives and establish opportunities for collaborations between zoos and aquariums, field biologists, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector. The conference promotes the basic premise that each and every one of us has a role to play in the effort to safeguard Earth’s threatened biological diversity.
