WILDFILE 2ND ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL DESERT CONSERVATION SUMMIT Friday, November 19 - Sunday, November 21, 2021 The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens is excited to host its Second Annual International Desert Conservation Summit on Friday, November 19, 2021 through Sunday, November 21, 2021. This year’s theme is “Saving African Rhinos” and the speakers are all global leaders in rhino conservation. The in-person event will be a significant gathering of experts from around the world focused on saving deserts and the animals, plants, and communities that call the desert home. The Summit Weekend will feature 10 speakers from three countries representing 9 conservation organizations. Expert conservationists will share rhino conservation stories from the field, along with success stories, key challenges, a closer look at their important work, and suggestions of how you can help. Friday Night Videos will feature work from the organizations with an opportunity to mix with these world leaders. The Saturday Summit is open to the public with the goal of welcoming everyone into the vast and fascinating world of wildlife conservation in general, and of Africa’s rhinos in particular. Summit attendees will have the unique opportunity to interact in a live question and answer session following each presentation. The Saturday night Award Ceremony will have limited dinner seating when the conservationists will each receive The Living Desert Conservation Hero Award. Sunday, Rhino Tours of the newly opened Rhino Savanna at The Living Desert will also be available.
