Zoo and Aquarium Consultancy
- a division of the International Zoo Veterinary Group
“Education, Conservation, Information”
These include education packs; education programmes; links to conservation and research projects; backup support and resources for education staff; the production of guidebooks, education or research policies. The packs that we produce for you will be customized for your collection, according to your needs; they will be different from any other collection’s interpretation.
We research and write interpretative material for Zoos, Designers and Zoo Architects to incorporate into existing and new exhibits. If needed we can source specialists to help create physical signage, interactive material and even exhibit designs.
The Zoo and Aquarium Consultancy can:
- Research the latest biological information for signs and labels
- Write modern, entertaining labels for single species, multi-species, or habitat based exhibits
- Tailor information packs for particular species, family groups or habitats
- Help collections establish and interpret a “story” theme, providing both education and entertainment linked to an overall collection plan
- Write trails, activity packs or age-specific handouts
- Carry out evaluation of ongoing education programmes
- Link your education programme to the National Curriculum
- Set up links to local or international conservation projects
- Establish collaborative research programmes with colleges and universities
- Write new guidebooks
- Provide interpretative information for zoo architects and design companies, allowing a better all round service
We maintain a large database of animal collections, local and international conservation projects, and research organisations, allowing us to make links and source any information needed.
