This book provides a snapshot of the fundamental changes zoos have experienced in the past decades. In a world of increasing destruction of biodiversity, zoological gardens have never been so important as education and conservation centres. This book provides analysis of 80 leading zoological gardens in 21 European countries. Introductory chapters deal with specific aspects of modern zoos, such as conservation, management, and an outlook to 2020.
