With years of experience in the field of photography, Frank Noelker has established himself as a professional photographer. Frank Noelker published his first book, Captive Beauty: Zoo Portraits, in 2004. Comprised of 50 color photographs of zoo animals, the book received positive reviews and featured a special foreword by Dr. Jane Goodall.
Renowned conservationist and primate researcher Dr. Jane Goodall was invited as a keynote speaker at the 2021 Asia for Animals (AfA) Coalition Conference. Held virtually on April 24, the two-day conference was organized by the Blue Cross of India and the Federation of Indian Animal Protection Organizations (FIAPO).
To facilitate access, the 2021 AfA conference was prepared as a virtual 3D conference. Attendees registered online and could visit the virtually constructed 3D conference center from their homes.
The theme for this year’s conference was For A Better Tomorrow, Together. Sessions tackled topics such as holistic approaches to animal welfare and climate change. The conference also included panel discussions that addressed animal rights policy and wildlife trade.
