New research, shared late last month in the Future of Aquariums/Europe webinar presented by Impacts Experience and Species360, shows that visitors increasingly expect aquariums to be conservation institutions. What does this mean for post-pandemic recovery? And how have closures helped aquariums to increase their presence “outside the walls” of their facilities?

Watch the full Webinar here for a complete review of the research and its findings.

A panel discussion followed the Webinar, including:

  • Núria Baylina, Curator and Head of Conservation, Oceanário de Lisboa
  • Christina Hvilsom, Ph.D., Chair, EAZA Biobank, and Geneticist, Copenhagen Zoo
  • Brian Zimmerman, Director of Conservation and Science, Bristol Zoological Society, and Chair of the Freshwater Teleost Taxon Advisory Group
  • Moderator: Sandy Trautwein, Ph.D., Director of Aquatic Conservation, Species360

Impacts Academy helps aquariums, museums, and zoos to develop business and audience engagement strategies based on actionable data.
