Deadline EAZA News 59: 1 June 2007 Printed on TREE-FREE paper bleached without chlorine and free from acid eaza executive office FROM THE EDITORS The weather improves, flowers begin blooming and many animals give birth. This heralds a beautiful season for zoos and aquaria; spring. Spring is a favourite season to open new enclosures, and to start educational programmes and other activities, as a growing number of visitors can be expected. This provides a large target to focus on in order to develop appreciation, understanding, care and concern about nature and the need for its conservation. In other words, a busy season has begun, and we wish all members a successful spring! Many EAZA institutions have already started their activities directed towards the EAZA Madagascar Campaign 2006/7. You can read about some of these in this EAZA News issue, and maybe get inspired to adopt certain activities for use within your own institution. The series on collection management continues, and features an article on the EU ban on the importation of wild birds. Updates on important conservation initiatives and breeding projects can also be found in this issue, with one of the main themes being the global amphibian extinction crisis. There is also information about developing research potential in zoos and aquaria, as the EAZA Research Committee has now completed an important blueprint for research in EAZA institutions in the form of the EAZA Research Strategy. Remember, the contents of EAZA News relies on the support of its readership, so do not hesitate to send us your articles or press releases for inclusion! For ideas on topics, please refer to the ‘Magazine’ section on the EAZA website. EAZA News 60 will be dedicated to aquaria and aquatic exhibits.
