Manchester Museum is delighted to present the Collaborative Conservation webinar live.

Manchester Museum’s Curator of Herpetology Andrew Gray and Curatorial Assistant in Herpetology Matthew O’Donnell will be joined in conversation by Dr Luis Urena and Dr Eric Flores of Panama Wildlife Conservation (PWCC) as we explore the work of conservationists and researchers fighting to protect Panama’s unique biodiversity. Successful wildlife conservation requires collaboration and specialized knowledge. Manchester Museum and PWCC have come together to jointly develop new projects aimed at helping conserve some of Panama’s most endangered species and their associated ecosystems, providing opportunities to support and fully involve local communities.

This exclusive webinar will highlight and discuss several projects currently underway, including those for endangered Harlequin Frogs, sea turtles, and more. The event will finish with an interactive Q&A session where you can ask our panellists about their exciting and diverse work.

PANAMA WILDLIFE CONSERVATION CHARITY (PWCC)

We are the only UK based charity dedicated to supporting & developing biodiversity conservation projects in Panama. We are proud to have fantastic combination of scientists, professional fund managers and lawyers working together to protect highly biodiverse areas of Panama. Our projects started in 2014 in response to the need for urgent scientific data on threatened species across Panama. PWCC has been supporting/developing high-priority biodiversity conservation activities by creating new opportunities for Panamanian early career biologists & conservationists who are passionate about the protection of Panama’s biodiversity in places where capacity and access to resources is limited such as the province of Veraguas. Our projects have been developed with top organisations form the US, UK and Europe and generated scientific information about the rich biodiversity of this country. Our initiatives have included: development of field research activities, publishing valuable scientific data, promoting citizen-science in communities near protected areas, and local outreach in schools and communities.
