Zookeepers Lisa Smith, Laura Mayo, and Joseph Mendelson lead a presentation of Behind-the-Scenes at Zoo Atlanta: Making a Difference at Home and Around the World. Lisa Smith presents the rarely-seen world of the truly "behind-the-scenes," offering compelling insights into the challenges, innovations and surprises of day-to-day animal care at Zoo Atlanta. Laura Mayo introduces a clear call to action for orangutans; great apes that may face extinction within the next decade without focused conservation efforts. Through an in-depth look at the fight to save critically endangered amphibians, beaded lizards and turtles, Mendelson presents alarming realities and triumphant messages of hope that define 21st century conservation. This talk took place on June 12, 2008.
