The Phoenix Zoo has some help in its effort to promote animal welfare around the world.  For the past few years, it’s worked with the Jane Goodall Institute to assist zoos around the globe.

Hilda Tresz has worked with the institute for many years, and also works for the Phoenix Zoo. She’s helped zoos in places from Russia to Senegal. With The Show to talk about this partnership is Gary West, the vice president of living collections and animal health at the Phoenix Zoo.
