Wildlife Forensic Academy: A Call to Action at Zoo Atlanta
Step into the world where science meets justice and conservation takes center stage! On Wednesday, April 22, Zoo Atlanta invites you to an unforgettable evening with Andro Vos, CEO and Founder of the Wildlife Forensic Academy, as he leads the 2026 Geoffrey Bourne Lecture: Wildlife Forensic Academy – A Call to Action.
Hosted in the stunning Michael & Thalia Carlos Ballroom in Savanna Hall, this free event begins at 7 p.m. and promises to open your eyes to the fascinating world of wildlife forensics, the science that helps track down poachers and protect endangered species across the globe.
Why This Matters
Wildlife crimes are among the most urgent threats facing animals today. From ivory trafficking to illegal hunting, these acts devastate ecosystems and push species toward extinction. But forensic experts are fighting back, and analyzing crime scenes, decoding DNA, and using cutting‑edge technology to bring perpetrators to justice.
Andro Vos will share how the Wildlife Forensic Academy was born, how it’s training the next generation of conservation detectives, and why every voice, including yours, matters in this global effort to protect our planet’s most vulnerable creatures.
Be Part of the Movement
This is not just a lecture; it is a call to action. Come ready to be inspired, ask questions, and discover how science and compassion can work hand‑in‑hand to safeguard wildlife for generations to come.
