Beranger, Jeannette - Research & Technical Programs Manager American Livestock Breeds Conservancy North Carolina , USA
Jeannette joined American Livestock Breeds Conservancy after retiring from a two decade long career in the zoo field. Beginning as a veterinary technician in the private sector, Jeannette progressed to become a Lead Zookeeper at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Rhode Island and managed a wide variety of exotic species as well as the animals within the rare breeds farmyard of the zoo. Jeannette was an active AAZK member and developed international outreach programs for the organization that included zookeeper training workshops and the first-ever international conference on zookeeping – the ICZ. Jeannette's experience facilitating research, organizing workshops and conferences, applying technology to improve animal husbandry, combined with her skills in outreach and networking now enable her to research, plan, develop and implement important breed conservation programs for ALBC. Outside of work, she and her family maintain a heritage breeds farm in North Carolina where they raise endangered chickens and Marsh Tacky horses.
