In the context of EAZA’s forthcoming South East Asia Campaign and the issue of wildlife poaching, the Archbishop made a stirring speech, calling on the European zoo and aquarium community to use their considerable potential to educate their visitors. EAZA members should ensure, he said, “that nobody leaves your premises without you having planted a seed of knowledge about the poaching scourge”

The full text of the Archbishop’s address will be reproduced in a forthcoming edition of EAZA’s Zooquaria Magazine. See:http://www.eaza.net/News/EAZA_Magazine/Pages/Magazine.aspx

 JRA conducted an in-depth one-to-one funding workshop with Skansen a little over a year ago, and we hope some of the advice we gave them may have helped in some small way to achieve this fantastic sum; very well done guys.

 We have also conducted similar workshops in Europe e.g. with Sofia Zoo Bulgaria, and are happy to explore informally your funding needs.

 John Regan will be conducting an interview with Skansen’s Development Team to be posted on our webpage in order to better understand how this impressive feat was achieved.
