Members of the 2016 James Smithson Fellow cohort participated in an enrichment event at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) in Front Royal, VA on Friday 11/18/2016. SCBI plays a leading role in the Smithsonian’s global efforts to save wildlife species from extinction and train future generations of conservationists.
