Herpsymposia
The Herpetofauna Foundation organises scientific symposia as well as symposia on animal husbandry. This way the scientific community is able to share information and work together in research and conservation. The reptiles and amphibians in captivity will also benefit from the sharing of knowledge.
On this page you can read more about our next and past symposia.
