1st International Old World Primate and
Prosimian Symposium
After the success of this
year’s New World Primate Symposium at Twycross Zoo which was attended by other
100 Keepers, Students and Zoo Professions from all over the world, we are happy
to inform you that Twycross Zoo is organising another of these useful and
rewarding symposiums. The next symposium would be based on the fascinating
groups of old world primates and prosimians, many of which have become very popular in
animal collections around the world.
The symposium would cover
the same types of topics as the last symposium on New World Primates
with
additional talks that would be relevant to species specific animals such as the
Colobinae and nocturnal species like the Aye-aye. This two day symposium would
be aimed at keepers who work with these groups of primates and also people who
are studying to become primate keepers in the future. One of the main successes
of this year’s symposium was that it gave keepers the opportunity to network
with other keepers and exchange invaluable ideas and insights. The presentations
were of a very high standard and very well received.
To make this symposium
assessable to all we have tried to keep registration cost low as we can so that
everyone can be involved, so for the whole two days which includes all talks and
workshops as well as lunches and coffee’s will only cost £50 and this year we
are offering an ABWAK early bird deal for £45 for the whole two days
(Professional Members only, offer ends 31st Jan
2012)
