Not your average Monday - #desman22 participants and the Academy team, enjoyed celebrating #CommonwealthDay2022 at Government House with the Lieutenant Governor and Lady Dalton. A wonderful evening full of great conversation and certainly a change of scenery!

Happy Friday! And a successful half way point reached for our #desman22 participants! Time is definitely flying, and brains are buzzing, but smiles are still beaming all round - including the inspiring Lee Durrell, with a guest lecture today on the history of the Trust.

Canada's New Noah, Stephanie Winton, has been overseas for a few weeks now, and she's sent us an update. See what Stephanie and the other DESMAN students have been up to in their first month. Visit: bit.ly/36axKH8

New #blog about my first month in Jersey 🇯🇪 learning about endangered species management #CanadasNewNoah

Just in, from our #NewNoah: We had an amazing opportunity to visit the innovative fruit bat exhibit at the Jersey Zoo. Over 80 bats live in the large enclosure that provides natural light, lush vegetation, & space for these large bats to stretch their wings & fly freely.

From one adventure to another! Today we proudly congratulate 10 amazing news graduates of our #DESMAN22 course. Wishing them well in their next steps, we feel honoured to have supported their personal & #professionaldevelopment #graduation #feelgoodfriday #conservationtraining

1/3 Average local, not global, threat status predicts larger North American zoo populations. However, neither status predicts a species' presence in a zoo very well. 🧵⬇️

2/3 Simply counting the species maintained underestimates the contribution of zoos to local conservation, but this remains an area for growth. Read more in Animal Conservation.

3/3 Thanks to our partners at African Lion Safari, Wildlife Preservation Canada, Queen's University and University of Guelph for their work in this collaboration. Drew Sauve Stephanie Winton Toby Thorne
