Taking the Long View

In the zoo and aquarium community, thinking long-term is first nature. Ensuing the sustainability of our business practices, the relevance of our educational programs, the genetic integrity of our populations and the continued existence of threatened species in the wild – these big goals take generations to achieve.

As Canada commemorates their first 150 years, Dr. Clément Lanthier, Calgary Zoo President and Species360 Trustee, looks forward to the next 150 and provides his thoughts on the ongoing evolution of our industry to a place of last refuge and to a role as stewards of the wild.
