Dear John,
I would like to personally invite you to join me, and an extraordinary panel of guests as, together, we explore a future Beyond Zoos.
BEYOND ZOOS ( [link removed] )
Born Free has, for decades, questioned the validity of zoos, the incarceration of wild animals in public display facilities in the name of conservation, education, and research. Our counter-position is that we should be doing all we can to ‘Keep Wildlife in the Wild’, where, we believe, it belongs.
Beyond Zoos is not a platform for repeating well-worn arguments for and against the mass exploitation of wild animals in zoos. That path is well-trodden.
Beyond Zoos brings together a talented and unexpected panel of global experts and thought-leaders to reflect on where we are but, more importantly, to envision where we are going, to explore whether there are more effective ways to engage our increasingly urbanised society to help deliver a truly nature-friendly future.
Our discussions will examine the challenges that exist, identify the barriers that may currently prevent alternatives from becoming a reality, and seek out effective solutions.
This landmark event will be held at the prestigious Royal Geographical Society in London. A live stream is also available.

Meet The Panellists
I am delighted to announce the first two world-class experts who will be joining our panel of speakers and who’ll be with me for Beyond Zoos, live on the night.
Chris Packham CBE
Chris is an award-winning broadcaster and environmental and animal welfare campaigner, based in the UK. He works with numerous charities and activist groups to try and instigate rapid and effective transitions to a better future for nature, humanity, and the planet. He has a long history of working with captive animals and supports far-reaching reforms in the way we operate captive wildlife collections.
Greta Lori
Greta is a leading Ethiopian-Italian environment and wildlife conservation adviser to various African governments and international organisations. She has extensive experience working to bring an end to the illegal wildlife trade across the Horn of Africa, resolve human-wildlife conflict, and better understand the gender dynamics of organised criminal networks — while encouraging more sustainable, and inclusive conservation models across the African continent.

So, I invite you to book your tickets today, and join me and our panel for what promises to be a lively, stimulating, and thought-provoking event. Born Free will be in touch again soon to announce the names of our other globally-acclaimed panellists.
