Colorado Aquarium Society

June meeting is all about conservation hobbyists needs to know

​

This month's speaker is Lily Hwang.  She has been a CAS memeber since middle school.  Currently Lily is a third year undergraduate student at Minerva University and has been in the hobby for around 10 years. She has been working on several projects related to conservation, including a database, social media awareness, conservation aquaculture, and more.

While Lily's last presentation was about the importance of fish outside of the hobby, this presentation will focus on the importance of hobbyists in the world of conservation. Many of us own endangered species, and have even bred some of them. As hobbyists, we are a wealth of knowledge that often goes under-utilized. Come to this next meeting to learn about what's been going on in the world of conservation, and what hobbyists can do to help.
