The SWCF & 3C Programme
Sally Walker, the founder of Zoo Outreach Organisation, was a visionary and influencer in the field of zoos and wildlife conservation. Her contributions led to many radical changes to the way zoos are looked at. Her works on the good zoo - bad zoo partnership established guidelines the world over through the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums.
Sally worked tirelessly to promote wildlife conservation in the field establishing various taxonomic networks, assessing multiple species & ecosystems, and developing plans. Sally’s contributions impacted the way education and outreach was looked at. She developed unique styles of communicating science for conservation and her legacy is still carried forward in varied programs in scientific publications, citizen science, human-wildlife coexistence, zoos, among others. She was an inspiration to the world, and promoted young talent constantly by providing facilities, support, and building capacity.
In honoring and carrying out Sally’s vision, Zoo Outreach Organisation has established the Sally Walker Conservation Fund. ZOO seeks your help and contribution to this Conservation Fund to continue her legacy.
