I think probably zoos are probably at their most vulnerable right now and will get more and more vulnerable and their relevance will be questioned in the future. I think there’s a big anti-zoo movement in the world. And zoos really need to work hard at becoming more relevant and in tune with their potential visitors. And it’s very difficult to know how to do that because on one side, you’re looking at what do people want to do in their leisure time. And it tends to be more entertainment-based. And so that’s why the commercial animal parks, which offer entertainment leisure would win out much more on zoos. And I think that’s why zoos had to come back from the rather high scientific principles of the eighties and nineties. No shows, no presentations, very scientific, to much more, well, let’s try and put in as much entertainment as possible.
