ASASG Webinars
ASASG Webinars
Frequently we host Specialist Group members, scientists, and professionals to share their knowledge about xenarthrans. Our webinars are perfect for conservationists, zoo professionals, biologists and anyone who loves anteaters, sloths and armadillos.
This webinar series is supported by our partner institutions Nurtured by Nature and FIAA.
The webinars are free and held through Zoom. Links are available in the webinar descriptions.
If you are unable to attend, we post them a few days after the LIVE event on our YouTube page.
