Deadline EAZA News 58: 1 March 2007 Printed on TREE-FREE paper bleached without chlorine and free from acid eaza executive office FROM THE EDITORS Looking back at 2006, this year was filled with important developments for EAZA; the new EAZA Standards and EAZA Constitution were approved, 12 new institutions joined EAZA, a new membership category was implemented (corporate membership) and a new EAZA executive director was appointed. Several publications were completed and distributed amongst the EAZA membership, including the EAZA Yearbook 2004, the Proceedings of the EAZA Annual Conference 2005 and the brochure ‘Ten simple things that will improve our EEPs considerably’. Sustainability was one of the central themes of last year’s Annual Conference, and the after-conference issue of EAZA News (issue 56) entirely focused on this important topic. As this topic was well received, the subject ‘sustainability’ will continue to be featured, starting with two interesting articles in this issue. Besides the articles in this issue that cover the topics normally found in EAZA News, one article describes the development of a new Regional Collection Plan (RCP) according to the standard format as developed by the EEP Committee. Furthermore, the back cover of this issue once more summarizes what ZIMS can do for you, as getting ready for ZIMS is extremely important for all of us in EAZA. Last but not least, we would like to thank those who enthusiastically contributed to EAZA News in 2006! Special thanks goes to Jenny van Leeuwen for her dedicated work as former managing editor of EAZA News. After working on exactly twenty issues of EAZA News, Jenny van Leeuwen has resigned from her editing job to take up a position at the Dutch Zoo Federation. We would also like to thank the authors that sent in all interesting articles that have kept the EAZA membership up-to-date about what is happening within the EAZA community. We look forward to receive as much interesting articles in 2007, so if you have never contributed to EAZA News, make this year the year to do so! c/o Amsterdam Zoo, PO Box 20164, 1000 HD Amsterdam, The Netherlands Website: www.eaza.net e-mail: info@eaza.net Membership Services & Accreditation tel: +31 20 520 07 53 fax: +31 20 520 07 54 e-mail: corinne.bos@eaza.net Collection Coordination & Conservation tel: +31 20 520 07 50 fax: +31 20 520 07 52 e-mail: bart.hiddinga@eaza.net
