Conférence sur les vétérinaires en parc animalier au parc d'Isle

I am taking you to the parc d'Isle in Saint-Quentin for a talk that opens the doors on a little-known profession: the zoo vet. It takes place on Saturday 7 November 2026, from 2.30pm to 3.30pm, at the Maison du Parc.

The subject sits where medicine meets conservation. Over one hour, the talk explains the particular challenges of this veterinary speciality, where every patient is different, and how animal welfare has become the cornerstone of any modern approach in zoological parks. The listing also points out that such parks act as refuges for endangered species, and that the job contributes to protecting ecosystems and to educating future generations.

I think the format is well judged: one hour is just enough to leave with answers, plus a few good questions for the next time you meet a keeper.

The talk is free. Places are limited and booking is through the Maison de l'environnement on 03 23 05 06 50. The speaker's name is not given.
