December 5 ~ 8, 2025
The International Elephant Foundation and Global Partner Vantara announce the 21st International Elephant Conservation & Research Symposium to be held at and co-hosted by the Fort Worth Zoo on December 5-8, 2025.
For the first time in over a decade this important symposium is returning to the United States. This exclusive in-person event will feature notable figures from the elephant conservation and research world.
The pressures on wild populations of elephants are increasing at an alarming rate. Wildlife habitat continues to shrink while human-elephant conflict increases. Conservationists and researchers around the world strive to protect the remaining animals and habitat, and this symposium is a distinguished opportunity to share new results, make connections, and learn.
All meeting activities will occur at Fort Worth Zoo.
