Asia for animals conference Bali

Tony Greenwood of Pinjarra’s Peel Zoo is involved in the sustainable rehabilitation, rejuvenation and revitalisation of Australian and International flora and fauna on a daily basis.

The Bali Zoo will be the main point of discussion at the upcoming Asia for Animals Conference to be held in August 27th-29th 2008, due to its transformation from being dilapidated and often insensitive of the animal’s natural habitat, to being respected and admired around the world.  

Tony Greenwood’s initial interest in the animal kingdom was borne from a young age and has been continued through to the current day. Tony’s experience has spread through countless countries and regions, including New Zealand, Australia, the South Pacific Islands and South East Asia, with expertise focusing on the building and renovation of private zoos. Mr Greenwood’s prime interest is in the connection made between animals and humans alike – this is reflected through Peel Zoo’s slogan, promoting it as a place “Where Animals and People Say G’day”.

Currently, Tony Greenwood is at the forefront of a number of projects, both nationally and internationally. His ventures include Peel Zoo, Bali Zoo and a number of upcoming heritage sites eager for restoration. Bali Zoo’s revitalization is significant in the world of animal care, promoting the animal’s rights, as well as the workers of the Zoo.

Seeks to promote a care-based approach to the needs of animals as well as staff working at the Zoo, doing away with the profit-based stance often taken within the world of animal care which involves the wider community.

Prior to its ‘make over’, Bali Zoo was considered small and thoughtless of its inhabitants – now Bali’s only Zoo flaunts large, open-space enclosures, which are filled with lush native vegetation.  Many Australian and International visitors have approached Tony, commending him for his enthusiasm, hard work and years of accumulated knowledge which has been focused on Bali Zoo and its now world acclaimed dedication to the animal kingdom, transforming it into “Nature’s Education Centre”.

One of the major focal points that Tony concentrates on is Stop Animal Abuse worldwide which is educated through natural habitats, leaving behind the concrete and metal jails that were once called zoos. The world is quickly catching up with the idea to “Live Today With Tomorrow In Mind.”

Tony Greenwood’s ongoing contribution to the animal kingdom ought to be praised throughout the zoological arena, considering his ongoing efforts to rekindle the relationship between man and animal.
