Report on the Economic and Social Contribution of the Zoological Industry in Australia
This report was commissioned by the Australasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria (now the Zoo and Aquarium Association) to assist it to determine the economic and social value that wildlife parks, zoos and aquariums contribute to Australia. The consultants have assessed five main possible values of zoological organisations (zoos). These are: Economic value, measured in terms of contributions to Gross Domestic Product, employment and tourism (production value). Value for consumers, measured via visitor survey results, the revenue and financial support provided to zoos and consumer surplus (recreational value). Value of contribution to conservation, measured by the nature and results of in-situ and ex-situ programs and research. Value of contribution to education, measured by the nature and results of school, tertiary and visitor education programs and their links to raising conservation awareness and motivating behaviour change. Value of contribution to bio-security, measured by the role zoos play in protecting Australia’s biodiversity and environment and primary production industries.	Download
