I wanted teenagers who came to the zoo to take wildlife seriously, that’s not a small desire, after all it’s tough for teenagers to take anything seriously, I think. I guess, I would like to see zoos provide more opportunities for youngsters to become involved. I would like to see zoos provide more mentoring opportunities for kids. And I’d like to see them get children involved in nature as well as the zoo, and the zoo itself needs to be seen more as a part of nature. I hope that the future construction of zoos will do its best to hide as many buildings as possible.
