Have you ever wondered how animals move between zoos? Animal Registrar Laura Graham will take us through the steps needed to move different species between zoos across the world.

One thing is for sure, an animal move is never as straightforward as it seems! From strict legislation to unique transport solutions, whether moving millipedes or giraffes, Laura will provide insight into the many considerations taken for any move, and most importantly, why these moves are essential for animal welfare and conservation.

This talk will start at 2pm with plenty of time for questions at the end, with a finishing time of 3.30pm.
