Zoo Staff Numbers

[chimpman]

Is there a website which gives the number of staff who work in a zoo?

There used to be quite a good website with details of most of the UK zoos on it. I can't recall if it gave staff numbers. Sadly, the old memory isn't what it was and I don't recall the sites name. It was fairly basic but it gave some useful info.

Would zoos tell you how many people they have on staff or would they be reluctant to supply this info? I'm wondering if it is something they don't like to divulge as I don't know a single one that puts a staff list on its annual review anymore.

I think one or two members on here work or have worked in zoos. Would your zoo or the one you worked in be happy to supply this information?

ZSL publishes it's staff numbers in it's annual report, though that would be all staff vs just keepers.

Example, p52

but perhaps its worth just asking the zoos you are interested in and explaining what the data will be used for and see if they respond.
