Regional Update
By Regional Representative
Joyce Kwok (May 2007)
Thanks to Shawn of Taipei Zoo for the production of the IZE 2007 calendar. Calendars were sent to all regional members in December 2007.
To better communicate with the zoos in China, I contacted the Chinese  Association of Zoological Gardens and organized a day visit for their members to Ocean Park Hong Kong on 8th March 2007. There were 29 delegates from 19 zoos/ institutions. During the visit, I introduced IZE to them and encouraged them to become IZE members. Some of them showed great interest about the next year’s conference in Australia. We also shared Ocean Park’s experience on education and conservation with all delegates.
The vision, mission and history of IZE were translated into Chinese and printed as leaflet. This will certainly help promote IZE with zoo educators in China.
The Singapore Zoo will host the Asian Zoo Educators’ Conference 2007 in Singapore from 6th to 10th September 2007. The theme is Engage, Educate and Conserve. All zoo and aquarium educators are welcome! READ THE FULL REPORT...

South Asians to Singapore … to the First Asian Zoo Educator
Conference
The first ever Asian Zoo Education Conference was held recently from 6th -10th September
2007, organized by the world famous Singapore Zoo. As Rachana Shah reported after
attending the conference “ the need for a platform for the exchange of ideas among Asian zoo
educators has always been deeply felt, so the initiation was taken by the Singapore zoo to fill
this gap, leading them to host the first Asian Zoo Educators conference.”
