10th International Conference on Wildlife Fertility Control - 23-24 April 2026
Kay Haw
This two-day conference from the Botstiber Institute for Wildlife Fertility Control will gather experts, researchers, and practitioners from around the world to share insights, discuss advancements and explore innovative approaches in wildlife fertility management. As human populations expand, conflicts between humans and wildlife increase.
Traditional efforts to resolve these conflicts rely on lethal control. However, public opposition to culling is growing, mainly driven by animal welfare concerns, human safety, environmental impact of toxins, and feasibility. This is why fertility control, alone or in conjunction with other wildlife management options, could be the missing tool to consider when mitigating human-wildlife conflicts. We will discuss contraceptive products, practical applications, public attitudes and fertility control-based solutions with examples derived from the field.
