The Third International Mammoth Conference was hosted by Heritage Branch May 18 to 20, 2003. The first two conferences were held in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1995, and Rotterdam, Netherlands, in 1999. The Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre, developed by Heritage Branch was a part of the Yukon venue. The conference brought together scientists interested in the woolly mammoth and the Quaternary Period environment. Highlights included the most recent research of a frozen Siberian carcass.
