Lifelong Learning Global Discovery: An Evening with Callie Veelenturf

How do leatherback sea turtles serve as the conduit for change between scientists, legislators and societal groups?
As part of Lifelong Learning Global Discovery, glide along with Callie Veelenturf — celebrated marine biologist, National Geographic Explorer and founder of the nonprofit The Leatherback Project — to dive deep into how these three groups intersect to save the critically endangered Eastern Pacific leatherback, a species of focus for Association of Zoos and Aquariums Saving Animals From Extinction (AZA SAFE) sea turtle program.
Discover how bridging common issues and following the lead of field science can offer hope to protect the ocean — and the species we love within it — for future generations on Thursday, October 3 from 6–8 p.m.
