5. The White Lion
According to the latest studbook, there are only 63 lions of KNOWN subspecies inNorth American and South african zoos combined. Of these 53 are Pl krugeri.
http://users.aristotle.net/~swarmack/whitlion.html
Steves Menagerie This is a White Lion ...When the children cry...La Da Da..... Oh. Hey. Do you remember that tune? It was by the late-80's hairspray-metal band "White Lion". Not a bad tune for the genre I guess....They also did "Wait"....I had the tape. (Embarrassing, but true.) At the time they were making music, I didn't realize that there really WERE white lions. I guess I knew that albinism can happen in almost any species from time to time, and melanism is especially common in some big cats...(black leopards....etc.) ...but lions are just so...
tan. There is only one example of a melanistic lion that I have ever read about. This was a report of a very big Persian lion that was seen by the archaeologist Sir Henry Layard which was described as being " very dark brown in colour, in parts almost black. " There are, of course, no lions at all left in Persia today...much less big black ones. An albino lion cub was born recently in the Lujan Zoo in Buenos Aires. In his book, "Wild Cats of the World", C.A.W. Guggisberg makes mention of a couple of albino cubs born in Kruger National Park in 1960, and one of these albinos was apparently still alive in 1977, when it was mentioned in the preface to the book "The White Lions of Timbavati"... which brings us to the beginning of our story Even though the cubs were snow-white... they WEREN'T albinos. They had normal yellowish-brown eyes instead of the pink eyes that an albino would have. The white color is caused by a recessive gene, much like the white tigers of India.

7. Public Education In USA
A collaborative team from BCTF, AZACEC, and african zoos and sanctuarieswill develop a template for zoo-based exhibits on bushmeat.
http://www.bushmeat.org/html/mayusedbullets.htm
Public Education in USA Bushmeat Education Working Group Discussion Summary The bushmeat trade in Africa is an issue that strikes members of the public in North America very deeply for a variety of reasons. BCTF has received numerous requests for information from the public and from its member institutions for materials that could be used to educate the general public about this critical wildlife and human issue affecting most of Africa today. Visitors to North American zoos number more than 140 million each year. Bringing the bushmeat issue to this audience can lead to the effective education of more than half of the US population. With the endorsement of the American Zoo and Aquarium Association's Conservation Education Committee (AZA-CEC), BCTF is working to develop a coordinated multi-media set of materials to be used by BCTF Supporting Members and AZA institutions to reach out to the North American public on this issue. In addition, AZA-CEC has a strong interest in strengthening educational efforts on the ground in Africa. A consultant should be hired to conduct a review of current educational efforts in North American zoos, and to provide feedback and recommendations on an effective approach to this audience.

The conservation of monkeys on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea
by Dr Gail Hearn
Beaver College/Arcadia University, USA
Bioko Island, the largest of the Gulf of Guinea Islands, has a surprising variety of native monkeys: four species of guenons ("cercopithecine monkeys"), two species of colobus, and the drill, a large baboon-like monkey that is now considered to be the most endangered primate in all of Africa. Until recently, the island's steep, volcanic terrain, high rainfall and low human population have combined to protect these monkeys and their undisturbed forest habitat from many of the conditions that now threaten wildlife in other African forests.
In the last fifteen years, Bioko Island, like much of the rest of West and Central Africa, has developed an unsustainable commercial bushmeat trade, where forest animals are hunted to be sold as a delicacy in city markets. On Bioko Island, which has plentiful supplies of fish and domestic poultry, the bushmeat -including all seven of the island's monkey species - is strictly a luxury food item. It costs more than fresh beef, the most expensive domestic source of protein. The development of oil fields off shore from Bioko has brought new prosperity to the people of Bioko, and has intensified the commercial hunting.
Since 1990, Dr. Gail Hearn of Beaver College/Arcadia University (located near Philadelphia in the United States) has been monitoring the monkey populations in the most remote part of the island, the Gran Caldera de Luba, a volcanic crater on the southwestern coast. All seven species of monkeys are found in the Gran Caldera. In 1996, to encourage conservation of the monkeys, Beaver College established the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program, which is dedicated to studying and protecting the wildlife in the two legally protected areas of the island: Gran Caldera/Southern Highlands and Pico Basile. These two areas make up more than 45% of the island, and remain, except for the bushmeat hunting, almost undisturbed by human activities.

Wednesday, April 30, 2003 By Gina Keating, Reuters
The San Diego and Tampa, Fla., zoos surrendered permits granted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to import the 11 African elephants after the agency discovered discrepancies on their permit applications, agency spokeswoman Pat Fisher said. The elephants had been expected to arrive in mid-May or June, but their arrival probably will now be delayed while the zoos apply for new permits, said Timothy Van Norman, chief of Fish and Wildlife's branch of international permits. Van Norman said his agency had information that the zoos misrepresented where and how the elephants were captured. "We are hoping to deal with this application as quickly as possible, but we aren't going to rush and make errors," he said. The flap was spurred by a coalition led by the British-based Born Free Foundation and the U.S. group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which sued the Department of the Interior to block it from issuing importation permits to the zoos. The groups allege that captive elephants' breeding programs are a sham and that the zoos want the huge creatures mainly because they draw paying visitors.
