Save Our Species Luncheon
February 12, 2019
As Henry Vilas Zoo and zoos across the country look towards the future, it is becoming increasingly clear that we are one of the last lines of defense for animals facing the threat of extinction globally. The Henry Vilas Zoo & Zoological Society are positioned to take the lead in protecting species because of ground-breaking research we are doing here in Madison to save animals from extinction.
Join us for our second annual Save Our Species Luncheon, featuring special guests Dr. Christopher Dold, Chief Zoological Officer for SeaWorld and John Calvelli, Executive Vice President for Public Affairs for the Wildlife Conservation Society. This will be a moderated panel presentation, giving you the opportunity to ask Chris and John your questions.
