We are delighted to welcome Prof. Carl Jones MBE of the Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and Mauritian Wildlife Foundation as our guest speaker. Prof. Jones has worked closely with our founder Andrew Greenwood for many years, achieving remarkable conservation successes and saving at least nine species, including the Echo Parakeet, Pink Pigeon and Mauritius Kestrel, from extinction.
He was awarded the prestigious Indianapolis Prize in 2016, which recognises the world’s leading animal conservationists. Having worked in Mauritius for over forty years, he is a source of inspiration and optimism to conservationists everywhere.
Our incoming Chair of Trustees, Prof. Anna Meredith OBE will also be reminding us why conservation medicine is more important than ever, as we understand more and more about how biodiversity underpins everything on the planet.
The evening will begin with a drinks reception and live music, before moving into Queens’ Old Hall, for our meal, speeches and more. Old Hall dates back to the 15th Century and is one of Cambridge’s most atmospheric dining venues.
A silent auction with some amazing prizes will run throughout the evening, with proceeds going to fund more bursaries to support aspiring wildlife vets working in regions where it remains difficult to access specialist training locally.
