We can advise on good practice in respect of Human Factors research, communications and resources.

Emotional Wellbeing

We can advise on methods to improve the emotional wellbeing of animal caretakers.

Diversity

We can recommend ways to increase the diversity of animal care staff.

De-colonialisation

We can provide guidance on de-colonialising zoo talks and signage.

Ethics Committees

We can help you set up a zoo ethics committee and provide guidelines for effective communications.

About Zoo Values

Our team members have experience in many different wild animal care facilities, in multiple countries, as zoo managers, zoo keepers, zoo vets and zoo vet nurses. 

When zoos are managed well, animal carers are safer, happier and healthier. This leads to better retention and attendance, and ultimately better welfare for animals and engagement for visitors.

We want to help zoos get it right!
