WILDLIFE
DISEASE ASSOCIATION (AUSTRALASIAN SECTION) AND WILDLIFE SOCIETY of the NEW
ZEALAND VETERINARY ASSOCIATION – JOINT CONFERENCE 2009
10-16 December, Woodstock Lodge, The Catlins, New Zealand
Registrations are
now open
The Australasian Section Wildlife Disease Association and Wildlife Society of
the New Zealand Veterinary Association combined conference will be held during
10 – 16 December 2009 in the Catlins, South Otago, New Zealand.
The Catlins is an internationally renowned wilderness area with natural
features that will compliment the conference programme well. Viewing of a
number of threatened endemic species will be possible during the conference
with New Zealand sea lions and yellow-eyed penguins having population
concentrations in this region. Other features of the Catlins include old growth
coastal forest remnants, the Catlins River valley, a fossilised forest of
geological interest, an abundance of native passerine species – tuis,
fantails, bell birds and many wild southern beaches.
We look forward to preparing a top quality six day conference programme. The
first three days will have a strong New Zealand focus in line with the Wildlife
Society’s past programmes, with a broader Australasian focus for the
remainder of the programme.
