International Conservation Perspectives

Join South African zoologist and ecologist Jason Bell for an insightful discussion on the critical connections between biodiversity, animal rescue, climate action, and human-wildlife coexistence.

As Executive Vice President of International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), Jason will share his views on how the face of wildlife protection and conservation has changed dramatically in Africa, how communities have become key partners in the quest to save the planet, and how IFAW is challenging traditional approaches in wildlife rescue and conservation and protecting wildlife on a global scale.

IFAW works at the heart of animal rescue and conservation. From responding to animals in crisis and restoring habitats, to safeguarding species at risk, IFAW is driving real-world solutions that help animals and people thrive together.

Whether rescuing pets and wildlife after disasters like the Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year or conserving habitats for Savannah elephants in East and Southern Africa over the past 25 years, IFAW is dedicated to developing lasting, impactful solutions for both animals and communities.
