I think that the growth is continuing and positive, I think that the zoo has to stop being ever an island unto itself. The zoo is part of a community and whether it lives in a small town, a medium town, or a bigger urban area like metropolitan Chicago, it should really have outreach. I think that people should continue to support their facility, but they’re only gonna continue to support if they feel a need for that facility. So the zoo has to show to a community, excuse me, why it’s more than a luxury. And a zoo can be a luxury for a community in terms of the expense of maintaining a facility. Zoo is very labor-intensive and it’s expensive to run a 24 hour, 365 day a year operation properly. So I think that the zoo is become and should develop and grow more even in outreach in educational areas. The zoos today in conservation have stopped just trying to do something on site, the major collections in the country in the world are reaching out to the world.
