Think beyond the individual 🧬💭

When scientists study a species, they don’t just look at one animal - they look at populations!

How many individuals are there? How is the population changing? What threats does it face? And what does its genetic diversity look like?

These are the kinds of questions that help conservationists understand whether a population is healthy and what action might be needed.

At Science Behind the Zoo, you’ll explore how scientific evidence, data and population information can contribute to conservation decisions in modern Zoos.
From individual animals to entire populations – discover the science behind conservation.

Why do genetics matter at the Zoo? 🧬

When Zoos work to protect threatened species, there’s more to consider than simply increasing the number of animals.

Genetic diversity matters too.

Modern Zoos use scientific information about individual animals and populations to help make decisions about breeding and conservation.

At Science Behind the Zoo, we’ll explore how genetics fits into the bigger picture of Zoo-based conservation and how scientific evidence can help guide decisions about the future of threatened species.

🔬 Science Behind the Zoo
📅 Saturday 14 November
⏰ 9.30am–2.30pm
👥 Ages 15–18

If you’re studying Biology or interested in animal science and conservation, this is your chance to explore how what you learn in the classroom is applied in a real zoo.
