Description:
|
The Georgia Herpetological Society is proud to announce the return of the Georgia Reptile Expo. The Georgia Reptile Expo, held November 11-12, 2006 at the Cobb Galleria in Atlanta, will be the largest gathering of reptile breeders, wildlife centers and agencies, and the general public in Georgia! The Cobb galleria is home to many of the largest trade shows and conferences held in Georgia each year. We are excited to be able to host our show at such a visible location. Each day well over 500,000 motorist drive by the facility and its large marquee.
The Georgia Reptile Expo will be an exciting weekend with potentially 175 vendor tables and an additional 50 tables of educational exhibits. The educational exhibits will include local nature centers, reptile focused wildlife facilities and local reptile educators. We are planning on hosting several educational programs throughout the day that will offer the general public information regarding reptile as pets and reptile conservation in Georgia. In addition a large native live reptile and amphibian exhibit will be on display. The display will hopefully educate the public about what is living within the state and its importance to the overall health of the ecosystem.
The primary goal of the Georgia Reptile Expo is to generate proceeds that would fund the GHS Reptile Conservation Fund. The Conservation Fund is a source to provide grants to local organization in Georgia. These grants can be awarded for educational programs and exhibits, conservation driven research, or operational expenses incurred by centers and their reptile collection. The GHS also hopes that through its proceeds, it will be able to donate a percentage of funds for reptile research to local universities and the states non-game wildlife program.
