An illustrated talk by Robert Ferguson, co-founder & trustee of Explorers Against Extinction

On average, one elephant is poached in the wild every 26-minutes. This is the shocking statistic at the heart of Explorers Against Extinction, a conservation charity committed to raising awareness about threats to world wildlife and wild spaces while also raising significant funds to safeguard them. The charity’s innovative Sketch for Survival art initiative has funded frontline projects from Zimbabwe to Sumatra. Join Trustee Robert Ferguson as he explores how art inspires positive action and offers first-hand insight from the frontline of conservation, including the deployment of anti-poaching dogs and the evolving role of technology.

This event is in association with the Wildlife Art Society whose exhibition is on display May 23rd – 31st. Doors open at 7pm to view this exhibition (and the museum galleries)

Ticket price includes finger buffet at 7.30pm followed by the talk. Part of the proceeds in aid of Explorers against Extinction. PLEASE CALL US IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BOOK A TICKET. 01452 731422
