It will achieve these aims through stimulation, facilitation and co-ordination of the community’s efforts in education, conservation and scientific research, through the enhancement of co-operation with all relevant organisations and through influencing relevant legislation within the European Union.” 1 Annual Report 2017 REPORT FROM THE EAZA CHAIR THOMAS KAUFFELS, OPEL-ZOO, KRONBERG, GERMANY, CHAIR DINNER AT THE EAZA DIRECTORS’ DAYS, CHESTER ZOO, UK © STEVE RAWLINS Sitting down to write this report the first thought I had was: 2017 went by very fast!
