Wildlife-Endangered Species Conservation and Animal Reproduction (WECARe) International Conference 2024 is an International Conference initiated by the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and Biobank Team, School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedicine, IPB University, Indonesia. This Conference provides an academic platform for researchers, academics, practitioners, students, professionals, non-governmental organizations, industries, and stakeholders worldwide to present research results and simultaneously develop communication for further collaboration.
WECARe International Conference 2024 will be held for the first time with the theme “Their Future is Our Future – Sustainable Development of Assisted Reproductive Technology and Biobanking for Biodiversity Conservation.” This theme is based on the concept that “every action we take today on multi-species animals on this earth will affect our lives in the future.” Not only talking about the preservation of endangered animals, which is very important to take immediate firm action which will ultimately have an impact on the balance of biodiversity but also about livestock, which is also important to breed and increase their population for world food balance and meat self-sufficiency to meet animal protein needs; and includes pets which are also important to control their population. Assisted reproductive technology and biobanking are the best efforts that can be made to overcome every problem faced to maintain the balance of human, animal, and environmental life, and they are present as the last line of defense for saving endangered animals.
Through the WECARe International Conference 2024, it is hoped that every element involved and participating in it can exchange, share, and discuss various information, science, knowledge, experience, and the latest status related to the conservation of endangered animals spread throughout the world and related to the development of reproductive science and its applied biotechnology in multi-species animals. As a country with a diversity of endemic animals, most of which are endangered, this International scientific meeting is also expected to be a forum for activists or observers of endangered animals across countries to be able to share various insights to strengthen animal conservation programs that are expected to be implemented routinely. This conference is also an excellent medium to study various scientific research, technology, and programs from other countries that have been successfully implemented or applied as breeding strategies for multi-species animals.
WECARe International Conference 2024 carries the theme “ Their Future is Our Future – Sustainable Development of Assisted Reproductive Technology and Biobanking for Biodiversity Conservation “. The scope of our International Conference represented our concern for advanced research on multi-species reproductive biology, including issues of conservation concern for endangered species. Topics relevant to the Conference include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Assisted Reproductive Technology in Multi-Species
- Multi-Omics Analysis for Reproduction Issues in Multi-Species
- Cryobiology of Gametes and Embryos in Multi-Species
- Reproductive Anatomy, Physiology, and Endocrinology in Multi-Species
- Reproductive Pathologies and Diseases in Multi-Species
- Diagnostic Instruments/Tools for Reproduction Issues in Multi-Species
- Wildlife Conservation Medicine & Management
