Join author, conservationist, photographer and primatologist Beth Armstrong on Zoom for a rare glimpse into the complicated lives of captive gorillas through her new book Voices from the Ape House. Beth's many years as a gorilla keeper allowed her the privilege to observe the daily lives of this endearing, sensitive and socially savvy species. 

Beth Armstrong began her career in the zoo field as a keeper at the Columbus Zoo eventually working her way up to head-keeper of gorillas.  While simultaneously working as a keeper, she became increasingly involved in building the zoo’s support of in situ conservation culminating in becoming the first Field Conservation Coordinator at Columbus. In 1995, she co-founded the first ZACC (Zoos and Aquariums: Committing to Conservation) conference. Since then she has advised and helped organize the last twenty-five years of ZACC conferences. She is currently the chair of the ZACC Steering Committee.
