  Conservation In The Wild, In Zoos, And Back Again
  
  Dr. Greg JohnstonThe Friends of the Whyalla Conservation Park are excited to be hosting a presentation by Whyalla ex-pat and sometimes member, Dr. Greg Johnston, about his recent work for the Adelaide Zoo.
  
  Greg is a Senior Research Scientist for the Royal Zoological Society of South Australia who has recently returned from studying conservation research in zoos around the world.
  
  Greg's talk, which is titled "Conservation In The Wild, In Zoos, And Back Again" will begin at 7:30pm on Saturday 29th July at the Whyalla Yacht Club.
  
  Greg will be speaking about his research - looking at animals both in the wild and in captivity - and how that work assists with conservation efforts.Greg will draw on examples from around the world, but demonstrate how important it is for everyone to learn about, and be involved in, conservation at a local level.
  
  Everyone is welcome, the presentation is not restricted to members.A gold coin donation from those attending will help cover the costs for supper, which will be supplied.

  News about Pelicans - [Cached Version]

  Greg Johnston from Flinders University says a pelican tagged in Outer Harbour Adelaide has been found in south-west Queensland.
  
  Thousands of birds are gathering there to nest at three sites after floods in the region.
  
  Dr Johnston says until now there has only been anecdotal evidence that the birds travel so far.
  
  "For the first time, we're actually confirming that some of the coastal breeding birds are moving inland and actually contributing to some of these big breeding events following rain, and that's not been shown before," she said. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/04/28/2228902.htm?site=westqld
  ...
  Adelaide Zoo senior research scientist Greg Johnston said: "The ones that weren't killed off by the storms were killed off by the foxes."
  ...
  "Birds from this colony pretty much cover all of southeastern Australia," Dr Johnston said.
  
  This development, coupled with the decline of nesting sites in Victoria from 10 to just two in recent years, has thrown the species' survival into doubt.
  
  The "reproductive failure" was the first since Dr Johnston started studying the Outer Harbor pelicans in 1990.
