Please join us for a jam-packed afternoon filled with all things conservation and collaboration.

In connection with the annual Cambridge Festival run by the University, CCI, UCCRI and the MPhil in Conservation Leadership are coming together for a series of talks and activities.

We are happy to welcome the public in to the David Attenborough Building for this event- to be inspired to create connections with the global conservation effort which is coordinated from the DAB. This is also an excellent chance to introduce your family and friends to the world of conservation.

Aimed at older children and adults, and covering a wide range of conservation topics, there will be plenty for everyone during the event.

Please do sign up if you can join us. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.
