This is intended as a public and interactive forum for all those interested throughout the world in raising the bar for zoos, aquariums, nature sites and similar organisations.
In how many different ways can they be relevant to Society?
What are the esssential strengths of the fundamental zoo model?
Can we work towards a fundamental paradigm shift?
We are looking to debate how can zoo organisations can and should participate more widely in Society and be helped to do so
This is a global website. However the Manifesto for Zoos, a UK based document, was published a while ago and is relevant to this discussion, which you can download for free as a PDF from our website. Please help yourself. Manifesto for Zoos
On behalf of the EU Interest Group we are currently working on a new document ” The European Union and Europe’s Progressive Zoos and Aquaria”. This will articulate all the public goods our community delivers in alignment with EU policy.
So I hope lots of you out there will comment on our posts, suggest new ideas for discussion and especially challenge our assumptions.
Best wishes
John
