The century-old Mysuru zoo has taken up a project where it plans to bring out a book chronicling the journey of one of the country’s famous zoological gardens with the help of people passionate about wildlife conservation and photography, incorporating their valuable inputs and collections on the zoo in the proposed publication.
People having knowledge on wildlife conservation, and the Mysuru zoo and have seen it closely over the years, capturing its transformation as a “model zoo” in their cameras for the past several years, have been invited to share their thoughts and photograph collections with the zoo for the project.
Called the “Mysuru zoo history compilation”, the zoo management has proposed to make the book a comprehensive and a collectors’ item, documenting the journey. It wants people who have knowledge of the history of Mysuru zoo to help it in compiling the book, detailing its journey from the origin till the present day.
