Cocktails & Conservation: Live! is an in-person, interactive talk focusing on Climate Change at spectacular Brooklyn Basin in Oakland. Cocktails and Conservation: Live! is a new event concept by Oakland Zoo. These engaging open-air events are part conservation talk show, part cocktail party - and always impactful. On May 11th, we will explore how climate change impacts the animals, plants and people that share our Bay Area habitat, from poppies to pumas with our special guests: California Native Plant Society, Mountain Lion Foundation, and Oakland Zoo Climate Education. Join us for engaging interviews, wildlife trivia and interactive and empowering fun in the name of Taking Action for Wildlife!
