Guidelines for Climate-proof Petting Zoos

Many municipalities are engaged in climate-proofing. Petting zoos and Nature and Environmental Education Centres can play their part by taking climate adaptation measures of their own. Furthermore, they can help to raise awareness of the consequences of climate change. They are in a perfect position: petting zoos constitute a piece of nature within built-up areas and draw a wide crowd. Many of them also maintain relations with schools, businesses, and municipalities. Are you an owner, manager, or staff member of a petting zoo and are you interested in embarking on climate adaptation? Then the Guidelines for Climate-proof Petting Zoos (pdf, 19 MB) will be of use to you. Step by step, the Guidelines explain the measures you can take and the programmes with which you can reach people of all ages. They also provide tips on finding new partners and sponsors to assist you in your efforts.
