Our RZSS WildGenes team recently attended a corals and fish cryopreservation workshop hosted by ZSL Science and Natural History Museum 🪸 This was a great opportunity to take part in practical training, and to discuss the integration of these key taxa groups into UK biobank facilities 🧬

It was great to discuss our plans to restore Scotland's wildcat population with WildCRU, Oxford Professor David Macdonald at our conservation breeding for release centre Highland Wildlife Park last week 🌲 We're grateful there's so much support for evidence-based conservation projects 🧡

The wildcats in our conservation breeding for release centre are being prepared for the challenges of life in the wild – this is why their enclosures are located in a remote area of Highland Wildlife Park, where no park visitors are allowed and human contact is kept to a minimum 🌲

Kickstart your conservation career and join our project to restore wildcats in Scotland 🧡 We're recruiting a conservation project assistant to carry out administrative, financial and coordination duties 📝 Apply for the Highland Wildlife Park based role ➡️ bit.ly/RZSSjobs

Great to have you to visit Prof Carolyn Hogg !

Great article about why the new Scottish Government Scottish Biodiversity Strategy will need strong species recovery targets to facilitate the recovery of some of our most threatened species.
