The world has lost nearly 3 billion birds in North America alone since 1970 – but conservationists see hope for their future.
On April 16, we invite you to join us at the Radisson Blu Mall of America for the Minnesota Zoo Foundation's third annual Wildlife Conservation Benefit as we shine a spotlight on technology-driven solutions that are helping to save threatened bird species both here in Minnesota and around the globe.
At this inspiring event, hear from our keynote speaker, Dr. Miyoko Chu, a renowned scientist and ornithologist who led the creation of the Merlin Bird ID app, and experts at the Minnesota Zoo as we explore how groundbreaking technology is supporting bird populations. Then, learn what you can do to help further these efforts.
Ticket information:
All tickets include a hosted beer and wine bar, appetizers, and a three-course dinner.
Complimentary valet parking provided.
Tickets start at $200. Individual tickets and full tables available.
