Tutu at EAZA
We were recently very happy to assist the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) in securing some involvement by Archbishop Emeritus Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The Archbishop helped to open September’s annual conference in Montpellier by video recording. JRA proposed the initial approach and facilitated material for his speech.
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
