ZSL's Conservation Work
For over 180 years ZSL has played an essential role in wildlife science and conservation by convening experts to address challenging issues. This includes hosting high-profile public meetings and symposia as well as national and international workshops.
ZSL works with governments, civil society and the private sector, both at home in the UK and around the globe, to conserve species and their habitats. It contributes to building conservation capacity and skills by running various educational programmes and workshops. Through the Institute of Zoology ZSL runs wildlife science and biology Masters and PhD programmes. The Society also supports young conservationists with awards such as the ZSL Conservation Expeditions programme.

Famous quotes containing the words conservation and/or work:
“The putting into force of laws which shall secure the conservation of our resources, as far as they may be within the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, including the more important work of saving and restoring our forests and the great improvement of waterways, are all proper government functions which must involve large expenditure if properly performed.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Heaven has its business and earth has its business: those are two separate things. Heaven, that’s the angels’ pasture; they are happy; they don’t have to fret about food and drink. And you can be sure that they have black angels to do the heavy work like laundering the clouds or sweeping the rain and cleaning the sun after a storm, while the white angels sing like nightingales all day long or blow in those little trumpets like they show in the pictures we see in church.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
