Zoo Tales: A celebration of books and reading with zoos!

A celebration of books and reading with zoos!

Reading has featured in every individual's journey into the wildlife and conservation world. So, during the run-up to World Book Day on March 2, we're bringing together the best of books, authors, writing, and research - celebrating what zoos have done for literature, inspiration, and conservation.

Throughout the week we're focusing on:  

24 - 26 Feb - Zoo research
27 - 28 Feb - Nature non-fiction
1 - 2 Mar - Zoo literature. 

Nature reading has grown remarkably in the past few years - brought about by a heightened awareness of climate change and the loss of biodiversity. Raising awareness is a core part of the BIAZA zoo/aquarium experience - and reading goes hand-in-hand those lessons we learn about wildlife. Learning, sharing knowledge, and inspiring others is how we make a difference. 

How can you join in?

• We're prepping some zoo and animal-centric reading recommendations, so write in if you have any!
• Use the #BIAZAZooTales hashtag on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for all things nature reading. 
• Does your zoo/aquarium sell books? Now is the opportunity to pick up a few and convince others to do the same. 
• Watch this space for more to come, including resources for zoo/aquarium visitors.
