International Bird Rescue is pleased to co-host, along with Brazil-based Aiuká, this week’s 14th Effects of Oil on Wildlife (EOW) Conference in Long Beach, CA.
The EOW conference on 26-30 September, 2022, is the only global meeting focusing on the planning, response, rehabilitation, and research aspects of oil spills and their impacts to wildlife.
Since the inaugural meeting, interest in oiled wildlife response has increased exponentially, as have the resources dedicated to preparedness, research, and damage mitigation. This conference is the primary venue for experts in a variety of specialties from around the world to exchange ideas and information to increase our ability to protect and restore wildlife at risk.
