The Changing Nature of Zoos

Steve Taylor spent nearly a quarter century at the helm of the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, presiding over tranformative projects like the RainForest and the Elephant Crossing. Tomorrow, we'll meet with Taylor for an exit interview has he prepares to retire at year's end. And we'll be joined by leaders at other Ohio zoos to learn how their missions have evolved over the years and how important their role in animal conservation has become. Tuesday at 9:00 on the Sound of Ideas.

Steve Taylor, director, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
Lewis Greene, Senior Vice President of Animal Care for the Columbus Zoo and The Wilds
Linda Criss, vice-president of communication, Akron Zoo
Candee Ellsworth, Conservation Coordinator, Toledo Zoo
