The Sequoia Park Zoo’s fifteenth Conservation Lecture Series continues Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at 7PM PST, hosted by the Sequoia Park Zoo Advisory Group’s Conservation Council. Join Cal Poly Humboldt faculty Drs. Silvia Pavan and Pedro Peloso for their talk entitled, “Shared discoveries: exploring tropical mammals and amphibians together.”

Both Silvia and Pedro combine field exploration, museum-based research, and storytelling to discover and describe the diversity of species in different parts of the planet. Much of their work is focused on the evolution of biodiversity in the Neotropical region, with special attention to the Amazon region of their home country: Brazil. 

Forming a dynamic couple for almost 25 years, they have also worked together on multiple occasions and currently collaborate on a project to study the biodiversity of Marajó, the largest fluvial island on the planet at the mouth of the Amazon River. They have been on multiple expeditions together, including to extremely remote places of South America. Combined, they have described almost 40 new species of animals, including frogs, lizards, opossums, and rodents. In this joint talk, they will share stories and images from these trips, highlighting some of the major discoveries and challenges faced in long expeditions.
 
Dr. Silvia Pavan is a Professor and Curator of the Vertebrate Museum at Cal Poly Humboldt. Silvia is a mammalogist with a focus on the diversity and evolution of small mammals. Her work has combined detailed anatomical study of museum specimens with genomic data.

Dr. Pedro Peloso is a Research Associate and Professor at Cal Poly Humboldt. Pedro is a herpetologist and is also a nature photographer. His recent work combines science and art to create awareness about amphibian extinctions and promote species conservation.

The Conservation Lecture Series will be held in-person and remotely through Zoom. The in-person lecture is located at the Sequoia Park Zoo’s Flamingo Room at 3414 W Street in Eureka. Attendees can enter the Zoo through Gate C, located to the left of the main gate at the W Street crosswalk. 

The event begins with refreshments and a Zoo update slideshow at 6:45 PM. The lecture starts promptly at 7:00 PM. Attendees are encouraged to ask the speaker questions after the presentation.

Virtual attendees can watch on Zoom (where a free, registered Zoom account is required). A link will be available at redwoodzoo.org and on the Zoo’s social media channels on the day of the lecture.
