Welcome

In zoos, the zoo keepers have a critical role in the care and welfare of the animals. They are both care takers and ambassadors to the public on the animals’ behalf. As environmental and animal rights issues move to the forefront, zoos are looking for zoo keepers with technical expertise and a knowledge of science to provide the best animal care, educate the public and participate in regional, national and international cooperative programs.
