'This book defines a new conservation vision for zoos and aquariums that will be of interest to those working in zoos, alongside practitioners and
researchers in conservation.' EAZA News ' ... this is a comprehensive book that presents and discusses many of the challenges that zoo-related
conservation science is faced with nowadays. It has the merit of inserting zoos and aquaria into today's reality, linking this to a variety of
conservation approaches, thereby broadening the framework of mainstream conservation textbooks. It not only describes the current situation, but
proposes applied strategies to face such challenges, whilst considering the wide diversity of 'zoo sizes', as well as acknowledging the different
roles zoos in developed and developing countries can play.' Animal Welfare 2008
