Call for Papers
This coming November more than 150 wildlife
rehabilitators, veterinarians, conservationists, and other wildlife
professionals will gather in Appleton, Wisconsin, to discuss their experiences
of wildlife rehabilitation at the International Wildlife Rehabilitation
Council’s Annual Symposium. The Symposium provides an excellent opportunity for
wildlife professionals to meet and exchange ideas, skills, and products
relating to wildlife rehabilitation.
The Symposium will be held from Monday, 12th to Saturday, 18th November, 2012. Presentations will run from the Thursday to
Saturday. The overall theme for the symposium will be The Science of
Wildlife Rehabilitation. There will be one plenary session on the first
morning, then two tracks a day for the rest of the symposium. We are now
seeking submissions for presentations for all tracks. As well as a series of
open sessions covering the subjects listed below, we also plan to run a track
on the rehabilitation of reptiles and so we are particularly interested in
receiving abstracts for presentations on this subject.
Suggested subject areas include:
Veterinarian: necropsy, new techniques
Legislation: working with your
country/state/province officials
Research: post release monitoring, new diets
Conservation: projects with conservation
agencies or on endangered species
Environmental Enrichment:
Rehabilitation: species specific
presentations on birds, mammals, reptiles,
Animal welfare:
Tools of the trade: data collection, use of
scientific procedures in rehabilitation, project design
Anyone wishing to present a talk should submit
their abstract for review by the Symposium committee. If your talk is accepted,
the committee will then contact you to confirm the date and time of your
presentation.
The abstract should include:
·
