They have recently received confirmation of a €3.8m sponsorship deal to rebuild and re launch their children’s zoo Lill-Skansen.

 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.

Surely these already exist? And take the form of enlightened botanic and zoo sites?

Isn’t the Eden Project a museum of the environment ( although that makes it sound much more boring that it is)

And the straightforward unimaginative appproach to a centre promulgating ecological virtues – in the form of the Earth Centre – was doomed to failure from the start
