London and Whipsnade Zoos have launched Wild Talks, a special series of free public lectures as part of their 200th anniversary celebrations.
Over six evenings across 2026, ZSL’s world-leading scientists and conservationists will be joined by guest speakers to explore the biggest questions in conservation today and spotlight the success stories shaping a brighter future for nature.
Hosted by some of nature’s champions, the series of talks and panel discussions will delve into conservation’s past, present and future, from the interconnectedness of protecting wildlife and human health, to the cutting-edge tech innovations transforming the future of conservation.
These talks are completely free to attend, with guests able to join in-person at ZSL’s headquarters in Regent’s Park in London or online on select Tuesday evenings throughout the conservation charity’s anniversary year.
Guests can reserve their space for May’s and June’s events, ‘Wild Health: People, Nature & One Health ’ and ‘From Zoo Time to Springwatch: Wildlife on Screen’.
ZSL believes nature can recover, and that conservation is most effective when driven by science. They call for science to guide all global decisions on environment and biodiversity and build a healthier future for wildlife, people and the planet.
