The Orchid Conservation Alliance presents  “A Conservation Zoom-posium.” To attract the broadest possible audience participation, the event will be free, but prior registration is required

It is a pleasure to announce the Orchid Conservation Alliance’s first-ever Orchid Conservation Symposium. The goal is to acquaint you with our currently-supported reserves and some of the people who are overseeing them. In the past we have asked these conservationists what they were up to, written a summary, and sent it to you. With the advent of live Zoom programming, we have cut out the middleman, us, and are bringing our partners and their reserve projects directly to you.

We are currently supporting three organizations: Fundación EcoMinga in Ecuador, Corporación SalvaMontes in northern Colombia, and La Palma in southern Colombia. The symposium will begin with an introductory biodiversity presentation by renowned biologist and OCA member Tom Givnish. After that, the principals behind each of these organizations will give a presentation about the reserves and their recent activities and be available for your questions.

See OCA for further details and registration.
