Many thanks to Richard Thompson and all his colleagues at the RSPCA for inviting us to their Mallydams Wood WIldlife Centre. The GOWRS team had an productive week and the exercise with the RSPCA was a superb example of how the members of GOWRS collaborate on exercises that can help organisations identify gaps in their preparedness. Many thanks to the members of GOWRS for participating in a great week!

The deadline for abstracts for The Effects of Oiled Wildlife Conference has been extended to the 17th April. The program committee is particularly interested in more poster and panel presentations. GOWRS members, International Bird Rescue and Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research, Inc., founders of the EOW conference are working with another GOWRS member, Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) to host the conference in Cape Town. This is to commemorate 25 year since the Treasure Oil Spill disaster when over 19,000 oiled African penguins were rescued and released. The event will also highlight the plight of the African penguin, whose numbers have declined so drastically, that the species has been recently uplisted to Critically Endangered by the IUCN as the species could go extinct by 2035. #oiled #wildlife #assessment #preparedness #wildliferesponse #penguin

The Effects of Oiled on Wildlife (EOW) Conference is taking place in South Africa in October year and the call for submission of papers is now open.

This year, there will be an opportunity to meet some of the RSPCA’s wildlife centre management staff. We have a busy week planned but we are looking forward to meeting up again in person. Special thanks to Richard Thompson and RSPCA for helping to organise the meeting.
