Welcome to read the Helsinki Zoo diary!

A normal work day at the Helsinki Zoo does not only consist of feeding the animals and guiding the visitors; job descriptions of the employees vary from a carpenter to an environmental educationalist and from a veterinary to a marketing planner. The different groups of the the several Helsinki Zoo units take turns in editing the diary. The diary notes consist of text and video. All material including videos is produced by the Helsinki Zoo personnel.

You can read the diary by registering and by logging in to the Helsinki Zoo internet services!
