Testimonials
Completely Different…
“These exhibits were completely different from past zoo exhibits. After experiencing these exhibits, I fell into the felling of the way back from the concert.”
Professor Kenji Wako
Japanese landscape architect and zoo designer in a personal communication
Keeper Perspective…
“Working in Jon’s facilities at two zoos, and sending animals that I love off to three other zoos where he designed exhibits, I completely agree. His work (and that of his co-designers) is unparalleled, and he has a depth of understanding about apes that is phenomenal.”
Andrea Walter
Zoo Keeper, Toldeo Zoo, USA
Your website…
“I’ve spent an enjoyable afternoon browsing your website – great stuff. I had no idea of the extent of your productivity and its quality is most encouraging.”
2012 William Conway
Emeritus Director, New York Zoological Society
Philadelphia Zoo overhead animal trail system…
“I really like this concept as an animal behaviourist. It totally makes sense, and I am sure it must be very good for the psychological wellbeing of the aninals. Not to mention that the zoo is no longer a static place – it is dynamic like the wild and the public will need to seek out the animals. Great to see that you keep pushng the boundaries on enclosure design and modification.
