University of Lancashire Conservation in sharks and rays

Join the University of Lancashire for a live webinar exploring conservation in sharks and rays. The session looks at how scientists discovered virgin births, known as parthenogenesis, in a wild population of smalltooth sawfish, and why that discovery matters for understanding these remarkable animals.

Expert Kevin Feldheim will explain the research behind these findings and how they can inform wider conservation work. The webinar also considers efforts to reintroduce zebra sharks to the wild and how studies of animal reproduction can support biodiversity, threatened species and long-term conservation strategies.

It is designed for anyone curious about marine science, wildlife conservation or how scientific research can make a real-world difference in protecting endangered animals.
