Have you thought about when you were director of the zoo, what’d you want the kids who came to the zoo to feel about their experience or was it the same as you wanted the adults to feel?… Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 173

Strictly conservation?… Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 174

I think that zoos have to become primarily conservation organizations and I think they have to become more thoroughly committed to sustaining viable wildlife populations, both in their zoos and outside of the zoos. Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 170

What (indistinct) responsibility does this bring to zoos?… Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 171

Today, as was not the case, perhaps when I was born, zoos have become man’s primary contact with biological diversity. The vast majority of people will never see any great number of wild animals except in the zoo. That gives the zoo an enormous educational opportunity, an enormous window of… Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 167

Do we need, or do we have any charismatic and committed heroes to help shift public opinion for conservation, Jacques Cousteau, Jane Goodall come to mind, do we need those type of people and are they around?… Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 168

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 165

You had alluded about euthanasia of animals, sometimes smaller ones easier to do than larger ones, does this potential of euthanization of endangered species because of the things you’ve talked about, surplus genetic issues, et cetera, does it still pose a political problem for zoos and aquariums?… Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 166

When we manage animal populations, whether they be cockroaches or elephants, we deal with the rigidities of demography of sex, there only two. And, we can have enormous problems with the birth of too many males or too many females of a species. If this is a cockroach, the answer… Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 163

And beyond the simple specialization, I feel very strongly that the only way many animal populations are going to persist is if they are interactive. In other words, if we have a park that is, has reticulated giraffes, Samburu, it may get to a point, it will get to a… Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 164

If the field biologists knows his or her stuff and the zoo biologists manager knows the same, there should be no problem. There should be full understanding. Full understanding is very uncommon in the human species so it may take a while. Case in point might be the black-footed ferret… Read More

Interview 9511 – Caption Index: 160

There are so many aesthetic details though that are overlooked in zoos and the people who commit them should have some additional training. You’ve said one of your papers that the next stage of wildlife conservation will be one of care hence a personal responsibility. Read More

Care by home, governments, zoos, aquariums, non-governmental organizations, can they all agree?… Read More
