Event - 12th July to 6th August 2002, Aalborg Zoo

Zoos Go Wild have just completed their first public zoo event at Aalborg zoo.

Over $3,800 was raised for a threatened indigenous Ecuadorian Amazon community.

2 members of the community (the shaman and his wife) and their associated jungle guide came over to Denmark and took part in a 4 week event in the zoo.
