Caroline the Arabian Oryx

On the ZSL website it states that the arabian oryx sent to Phoenix was part of the first international breeding programme: http://www.zsl.org/info/about-us/zsls-history,129,AR.html. Is this incorrect then, since it has now been removed from this article. Chris_huh^talk 10:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, that is incorrect on the ZSL website: somewhat embarrassingly, IMHO, since their own publication (International Zoo Yearbook: vol 4, pp. 63-65) in the same year (1962) has an article detailing pre-existing *formal* international breeding programmes for Père David's Deer and the European Bison dating back many years before that. What context ZSL means by "the first international co-operative breeding programme" on their website timeline is unclear to me, anyhow: if that was just relating to Arabian Oryx, it would have said so more clearly I'd've thought.

Awards

The awards section of the ZSL is here. Could be worth seeing if any of those lists are particularly notable or involve notable people. Frink Medal already exists. I will add to this article and update the list. Carcharoth (talk) 01:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC) Updated: 02:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Presidents and Secretaries

Have expanded the articles with lists of the Presidents and Secretaries of the Society. Carcharoth (talk) 23:40, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

FYI, someone has made a daughter page for Silver Medal (Zoological Society of London)....but...perhaps interested folks could figure out how we go from here.Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:09, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
