Call of the Wild Speaker Series

Houston Zoo Call of the Wild Speaker Series resumes again in September 2009 with an exciting lineup of guest speakers.

The Houston Zoo’s 2009-10 Call of the Wild Speaker Series begins its new season in September 2009 with an exciting lineup of guest speakers. Enjoy an evening of scrumptious hors d'oeuvres, breathtaking photographs and first-hand stories from conservationists on the frontlines in the battle to help save the world’s wildlife. Proceeds of the Call of the Wild lectures benefit our local and global conservation initiatives at the Zoo.

With conservation and environmental issues becoming hot-button topics for debate across the world, the Houston Zoo’s Call of the Wild Speaker Series offers a forum for global conservation leaders to share their knowledge, concerns and plans for the future. Starting September 10, 2009, four unique lectures will be held at the Brown Education Center over the span of six months.

The Call of the Wild Speaker Series is generously sponsored by the Charles T. Bauer Foundation, the Tapeats Fund, and Continental Airlines, the official airline of the Houston Zoo.

Seating is limited. Tickets for the speaker series are on sale now.
