Cocktails and Conservation: Live! is an engaging event that is part conservation talk show, part cocktail party - and always impactful. Packs of Gray Wolves have returned to California with a little help from their human friends. Find out what it takes to ensure their legacy in our state with a discussion led by Amy Gotliffe, Vice President of Conservation, Oakland Zoo, and our special guests: Dr. Michelle Lute- Carnivore Conservation Director, Project Coyote; Karin Vardaman - Executive Director and Co-Founder, Working Circle, and Kent Laudon - Senior Environmental Scientist, California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
