Please join us as we celebrate education, conservation and learning at a free conference at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden, Saturday, January 9, 2010.

The 6th Annual Earth Expeditions World Community Conference will showcase the work of our current and past Earth Expeditions participants, who conducted inquiry projects at conservation hotspots around the world and in classrooms throughout the country.

All educators and others interested in Earth Expeditions are encouraged to attend and learn more. Registration is free, and Zoo admission and parking are waived for all attendees. Feel free to invite your friends and colleagues.

Breakout sessions will share more about Earth Expeditions 2010 courses in Borneo and the Amazon; the Zoo’s new Advanced Inquiry Program, a Master’s degree based on the web and at the Cincy Zoo; and visits from some special animal ambassadors.
