The in situ conservation is becoming more and more important, but I’m here very critical in several views. The first point is I think it’s very, very important that first the zoo itself is becoming a first-class institution with proper exhibits for the animals. And before this is reached, I think a zoo shouldn’t spend money on in situ conservation. That’s the most important part. And then even a small zoo can do some conservation work in the backyard, maybe totes, three frogs, or whatever. There are usually several programs in the surroundings. And then even small zoos can do in situ in foreign countries, but here again I’m very skeptical. I think too many zoos start their own program, which in my mind is nonsense because you lose so much money in bureaucracy, in administration.
