INTRODUCCIÓN En los últimos años, el Zoo de la ciudad de Barcelona está sufriendo una importante decadencia hasta tal punto que, muchos medios de comunicación e incluso altos cargos de la misma entidad, han confirmado un posible cierre a medio plazo. Las últimas iniciativas aprobadas por el Ayuntamiento de Barcelona, como la iniciativa ZOOXXI, las potentes campañas de las organizaciones animalistas y una comunicación poco efectiva con la sociedad barcelonesa por parte de la entidad son algunos de los factores que han hecho que el Zoo pueda cerrar sus puertas. Opiniones que se pueden apreciar en las redes sociales y los medios de comunicación consideran el Zoo de Barcelona un espacio anacrónico y sin ningún sentido en la sociedad en la que vivimos actualmente. Por todo ello, el número de visitantes ha sufrido un fuerte descenso, los recursos son cada vez más limitados por el poco tráfico de visitas y las subvenciones públicas que reciben son escasas o, en todo caso, insuficientes para revertir la situación actual. Así, el recinto sufre una decadencia que lo aleja de las épocas de esplendor de las que había disfrutado décadas atrás. En el ámbito de la comunicación, se puede afirmar que la situación del Zoo de Barcelona está pasando por un claro ejemplo de comunicación de crisis. Por todo ello, el objetivo de este proyecto es elaborar y presentar un Plan de Comunicación de Crisis para revertir la frágil situación por la que atraviesa el Zoo de Barcelona, adaptado a las necesidades y contexto de la crisis por la que atraviesa. Para elaborar dicho Plan, presento, en el siguiente orden, un estudio sobre el ámbito teórico de la comunicación corporativa y de la comunicación de crisis. Posteriormente, he analizado el Zoo de Barcelona como institución, así como la comunicación que establece con sus públicos; también he hecho un análisis de otros dos parques zoológicos para realizar una comparativa, el Oceanogràfic de Valencia y la Réserve Africaine de Sigean. De este modo, mi propuesta de Plan de Comunicación de Crisis 1 está basada en la información recogida y analizada en sus previos apartados. Por último, presento la exposición de mis conclusiones. Personalmente, la motivación que me ha inspirado a realizar este proyecto es el hecho de que el exhibicionismo de animales, tan fuertemente criminalizado por parte de la sociedad y de grupos activistas, solo es una pequeña parte de la actividad que lleva a cabo el Zoo de Barcelona. Sin embargo, la institución también desarrolla una importante labor en torno al respeto animal y a su bienestar, colaborando y promoviendo campañas locales, nacionales e internacionales para la protección, conservación y recuperación de especies, aunque estas tienden a ser poco visibles por la sociedad. Por este motivo, considero que la imagen pública del parque no se ajusta a lo que realmente es y hace. Limitaciones del proyecto: El Zoo de Barcelona Desafortunadamente, han sido varias las limitaciones que han condicionado el grado de información procedente de las diferentes instituciones objeto de estudio de esta proyecto, así como el nivel de profundidad en la construcción del mismo. Para empezar, la principal y mayor barrera con la que me he encontrado ha sido la impuesta por el mismo Zoo al negarse a proporcionarme información sobre el funcionamiento de la institución. Intenté contactar, sin éxito, con el zoológico a través de correo electrónico. Después de esperar un tiempo prudencial y ver que no obtenía respuesta alguna por parte del Zoo, decidí presentarme presencialmente. Me recibieron el responsable de prensa y del Departamento de Educación y me comunicaron que habían leído mis correos, pero que no me habían respondido porque no podían

  • Berlin,25. March 2019 Open Letter to Members of the Barcelona
    vdz verband der zoolotischen Gärten (vdz) e.V. Bundespressehaus (Büro 4109), Schiffbauerdamm 40, 10117 Berlin, Germany Berlin,25. March 2019 Open letter to Members of the Barcelona Municipal Council from the Verband der Zoologischen Gaerten (VdZ, Association of Zoological Gardens) The World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA), and the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) have noted with concern, that the Barcelona City Council on 14 February 2019 gave initial approval to an amendment that aims to severely regulate the Barcelona Zoo, reducing the institution down to L1 species and calling for the transfer or relocation of the nearly 2,000 animals that remain to sanctuaries or rescue centres. The amendment also requires Barcelona Zoo to resign from all national and international membership associations, including WAZA, and EAZA. The Verband der Zoologischen Gaerten (VdZ) based in Berlin represents 71 member-zoos in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the Loro Parque in Spain. We would like to associate ourselves to the open letters of WAZA (dating 26 February 2019) and EAZA (dating 22 February 2019). The recent events that threaten the future of Barcelona Zoo fill us with deep sadness and concern, as we are convinced, that the plans will be a disaster for most of the animals, the visitors, the beautiful City of Barcelona and all employees of the Zoo of Barcelona, if it will be decided and implemented. The Barcelona Zoo is a long-standing member of WAZA, in addition to the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) and the lberian Association of Zoos and Aquaria (AIZA), and as recently as20t7 drew more than L million visitors to Ciutadella Park.
