We hope you like the IZN web site and will make good and frequent use of it. It is designed to be user friendly and the menu bar above should answer most questions and provide links to all our services.
The advent of the web site marks two important changes for IZN; a new publisher and a new editor. Chester Zoo and the North of England Zoological Society have staunchly maintained IZN since the death of John Aspinal and will now be concentrating on their other vital conservation support programmes. Without wanting to make it sound like an obituary, it is going to be difficult to imagine an IZN without Nick Gould as editor. There has never been a better editor, nor indeed one for so long, and it will be very hard to maintain the standards he has set during his 22 years in office. We wish him all the best in his retirement. The new editor is John Partridge who is well known in zoo circles and has thirty years of hands-on experience with animals and conservation activities.
Reader satisfaction is very important to us and your comments, suggestions and participation through articles is essential for a well structured and up-to-date magazine. We hope, with your support, to continue to produce topical, entertaining and stimulating editions of IZN.
In the years since its inception, the IZN has probably published over 20,000 pages of zoo related information. It is our ambition to put all of this online. At present we only go back to 1998, but all of these years can be individually read even if some of them are early attempts at online publishing. For the impatient, we have installed a search machine which will retrieve articles from the online volumes according to input parameters.
