We welcome Adam Eyres of the Conservation Centers for Species Survival (C2S2) for our recent Speaker Series.

About C2S2

​In 2005, five of the world’s leading endangered species breeding and management centers in the U.S. ​came together to save species in a way that’s never been done before. Their vision became Conservation Centers for Species Survival. More than 20 years later, there are now seven members of C2S2 and six affiliate members—of which the Endangered Wolf Center is one.

About Our Speaker:

Adam Eyres, Interim Executive Director at C2S2

Adam Eyres has worked for Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, one of the founding C2S2 organizations, since 1989. During that time, he has moved up through the roles from Animal Care Specialist, to Supervisor, to Curator and currently is the Director of Animal Care. He has also taken on the role of Interim Executive Director of C2S2 for the past two years as the organization restructured.

His participation in global conservation projects includes several US conservation programs, working with Attwater’s prairie chickens, Mexican wolves, and American Red Wolves. One of his most career-defining projects includes working with the scimitar-horned oryx, which resulted in their downlisting from extinct in the wild to endangered.

We are grateful to our event sponsors, Virgil and Sandra VanTrease.
