ACC&D Projects

ACC&D Think Tanks

ACC&D’s Think Tanks convene experts from diverse backgrounds to focus on topics that advance our mission. Attendees have included veterinarians, animal welfare experts, ecologists, epidemiologists, animal behaviorists, wildlife biologists, immunologists, and reproductive biologists, plus many others. Think Tanks truly are a microcosm of ACC&D and the field of non-surgical fertility control: they are strengthened by multidisciplinary collaboration and expertise!

To date, three Think Tanks have brought together experts to further develop specific non-surgical sterilization approaches. Three others have focused on areas that can greatly enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of non-surgical technologies. Our Think Tanks on marking methods, population dynamics modeling and ethical decision-making served as the foundation for innovative and long-term projects.
