Toledo Zoo offers free Climate Change Symposium on Oct. 29
On Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2014, from 9 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., the Toledo Zoo is offering a free climate change symposium in the Indoor Theatre of its historic Museum of Science.
Presenters include scientists, researchers and professors from Polar Bears International (PBI), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), The Ohio State University, the University of Toledo, and Bowling Green State University.
The team of presenters will discuss Toledo’s recent water crisis, climate change research and the impact of climate change on the natural world. One of the symposium highlights is a live video conference with PBI researchers in Churchill, Canada, one of the few places in the world where polar bears still roam wild.
This symposium is ideal for all guests ages 12 and up, especially middle school, high school and college/university students, staff and faculty. It is free and open to the public, but space is limited and pre-registration is required. Additional information is available at toledozoo.org/climate.
Educational opportunities like these are just some of the reasons the Toledo Zoo is rated the #1 zoo in the nation by USA Today Travel, and among the top ten family attractions nationwide by FamilyFun Magazine. Learn more at toledozoo.org.
