Zoos & aquariums have a role in fighting social inequities. Read on to learn four key themes from five panelists who recently shared their perspectives on the current environment & what we should be doing to improve it.
David had the privilege of attending a leadership summit hosted by Villanova University. The topic: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. The day centered on three threads: a call to action; where do we start? and our role as allies. Read on to learn the top ten takeaway quotes from the speakers.
The evidence is clear. If we in the zoo and aquarium profession don’t change and become more diverse, we risk extinction…just like the dodo. “The current demographics of our profession, particularly at the most senior levels, pose a threat to our profession”, said Dennis Kelly, author of the AZA’s most recent leadership demographic study.

At Zoo Advisors, our answer would be, first, as a profession we’ve not come very far but we’ve made progress; and second, we still have a long way to travel, but we’re learning the way.
