Int'l

zoo conference to be held in Vietnam

*Ho Chi Minh City is to host an international conference for the South East

Asian Zoos Association on effective management and wildlife conservation,

reported the city authorities.*

 

The 15th annual conference is scheduled to take place September 11-13 with

participation of 100 experts and officials from zoological and botanical

gardens from 26 countries around the world.

 

Most of the participants to the conference are directors, veterinarians, and

technicians.

 

Under the theme of 'Zoos on the fringe', the three-day event's organization

board will hold seminars to discuss topics on everything from animal

husbandry and veterinary medicine to fund raising, conservation, animal

welfare and ethics.

 

After the conference, participants will be invited to join an optional tour

to Cat Tien national park in southern Dong Nai province, 160km from HCMC, or

visit Hue citadel or Hoi An ancient city in Vietnam's central region.

 

The event is a great chance for the Saigon Zoo, the largest of its kind in

Vietnam to introduce itself and conduct exchanged with counterparts in

foreign countries.

[Guest guest]

I have attended three of SEAZA's annual conferences - in Malaysia,

Indonesia and Hong Kong. The organising committee is hospitable and

allows dissenting voices like mine to attend and to speak. But I

have given up attending as it is a club for those in the zoo

business. It should be a forum for raising standards of animal

welfare and conservation but it makes little effort to bring ethical

offenders into line.
