Dear members,

It has been a delight to see you flock to our zoos over the summer. It is always encouraging to see our youngest members mesmerised by wildlife and hear their thirst for learning more about our conservation campaigns. In this edition we are giving you an in-depth update on the highly anticipated elephant births at Melbourne Zoo. Take a look behind the scenes into a day in the life of our Animal Welfare Research Officer, Amy-Rose. Meet the newest member of the Zoos Victoria family, Kyabram Fauna Park, and discover why you should book a trip to Victoria’s northern region. Plus, we are sharing waste and planetsaving tips from Jodie, our very own sustainability superhero. We hope you are inspired by this edition and continue to join us in the fight against wildlife extinction. Together we are so much stronger.

Dr Jenny Gray CEO, Zoos Victoria
