The Zoo and Aquarium Video Archive

This ongoing, long term project preserves for future generations the stories, trials, and triumphs of an industry that has undergone incredible change—from concrete and steel cages to naturalistic habitats and world-wide animal conservation efforts – all in the span of a single generation. Brave New Pictures has conducted dozens of thorough and extensive video interviews for the archive. These crucial zoological leaders relay the history of their careers and detail their experiences, visions, and hard-earned knowledge. This is the only project documenting the wisdom of innovators such as Dr. Lester Fisher, Ed Maruska, William Conway, Gary Clarke and Dr. Lee Simmons. BNP is grateful for contributing to such an honorable endeavor.
