Join us for the Zoology Live! Online Festival 2022 with a series of two YouTube livestreams exploring wildlife past, present and future.

Join us for the Zoology Live! Online Festival 2022. We have two fantastic livestreams lined up for you, broadcast live from the Museum of Zoology at 7pm on Tuesday 21 June, and from the Cambridge University Botanic Garden at 7pm on Wednesday 22 June. This year we are exploring wildlife at home and away, uncovering what collections can tell us about wildlife of the past and finding out about wildlife research today and what we can do to support biodiversity. Sign up here for reminders for these two livestreams, and details of where to find more information about this online event. On Tuesday 21 June, get your questions ready for Evie Crouch, research assistant on the Butterflies through Time project, as she shows us the historic British Butterfly collection of the Museum and how it is helping us to understand and conserve butterflies today. Then Assistant Director Jack Ashby will be taking us to the other side of the world, to answer your questions about the amazing world of Australian mammals. We have some ideas on how to make your own collection in an ethical, sustainable way.On Wednesday 22 June, Dr Julia Mackenzie of Anglia Ruskin University will be joining us to answer your questions about monitoring birds, and Dr Ed Turner, curator of insects at the Museum of Zoology, will be talking about his research into rainforest biodiversity. We will also have some top tips on how to support wildlife on your own patch. Want to find out more about local wildlife, or try your hand and surveying techniques to gather data on the species living in the Botanic Garden? Why not book onto one of our wildlife workshops taking place as part of BioBlitz Cambridge 2022, a 24 hour species count running from 5pm pn Friday 24 June to 5pm on Saturday 25 June.
