About this book

Again Anthony Sheridan gives us an extensive overview over the leading European Zoos, which he is rating in updated versions of his ranking lists concerning visitor factors, education and conservation, management and organisation. In 2016 his survey contains around 120 Zoos in 28 countries.

Besides abundant information about landscape design, ex-situ and in-situ conservation, and finance and marketing strategies, the author deals with the role of the zoo director – introducing some of the outstanding individuals who occupy the role, friends of the zoos, and national zoo associations. A forward-looking book for all people interested in zoos – sceptics, enthusiasts, visitors, sponsors, zoo owners, politicians, wildlife conservationists and all those working in and for zoos!

Please note that p. 409 is blank; this was not intentional but unfortunately the requested site plan and certain other information was not received from Zagreb Zoo in time for printing. We have since received this information from the publisher and it can be downloaded here (392 kb).

Media reviews

"Every once in a while you come across a gem of a book that you just have to share with someone. I think this book is the mother lode of all treasures. It is right up there with the International Zoo Year Books, published annually since 1959 by the Zoological Society of London"
– Richard Hahn, Catoctin Wildlife Preserve & Zoo, ZAA Newsletter & Journal
