Returning for the 3rd time, the ever-popular ABWAK Otter Keepers' Workshop is back for 2024, and once again returning to The New Forest Wildlife Park. Set in the glorious Hampshire countryside and being home to 4 different species of otter, makes this location the ideal host for this workshop. As well as being home to the WAZA/ISB holder and the EAZA EEP monitor for Asian Short Clawed Otters - Jason Palmer. This is an ideal opportunity for otter keepers to network, learn about otter husbandry and develop new skills.

Topics include:

• Nutrition.
• In-situ conservation in the UK.
• Asian Short Clawed Otters in captivity.
• Giant Otters in Guyana.
• Sea Otter husbandry.
• Smoother Coated Otters.
• Illegal pet trade and public perception of Otters.
