UMSU The Ida Bar


An inspired monthly gathering where postgrads and guests explore big ideas across literature, science, and politics over shared meals and thought-provoking questions. 

Every ticket includes:
🍛 Complimentary dinner (vegan & vegetarian)
🍺 One free drink (alcoholic & non-alcoholic options available)
🎙️ Engaging talk presented by a leading Conservation industry expert
🧑‍🔬 An opportunity to network with industry professionals and peers

Who’s Still Fighting invites us to think about what it really means to fight extinction. Kirsty Costa (Senior Manager of Conservation Impact in the Wildlife Conservation and Science Team) from Zoos Victoria shares the latest from the frontlines of conservation—and how people and organisations are stepping up to protect wildlife. After the talk, we’ll come together over a communal dinner to reflect on the complex role of zoos in environmental protection, the power of collective action, and the broader impact of these efforts on our shared future.

Big questions. Urgent answers. Join us in the conversation!
