Biology Conference 🌿
Our Year 11 and Year 13 Biologists recently visited Longleat Safari Park to participate in their Wildlife Conservation Student Conference. The trip provided students with a valuable opportunity to connect classroom theory with real world conservation practices.
During the conference, specialist zoologists and conservationists delivered talks on biodiversity topics directly linked to the GCSE and A-Level curriculum. Key discussions focused on in-situ and ex-situ strategies for protecting endangered species, maintaining genetic diversity in small animal populations, and managing human impacts on wild habitats.
Highlights included discovering how breeding programs and the use of IVF are helping to preserve the critically endangered Southern White Rhino, as well as a fascinating talk on a species thought to be extinct, the Giant Magnolia snail. It was an inspiring day for all.
