Historical Interest:
ABWAK has been running as an association for over 33 years and publications go back as far as 1976. Over the last year ABWAK council has been reviewing the publications and has made the decision that some publications will now only be available as historical interest. Over the course of 33 years much has changed within the zoo world especially with the introduction of SSSZG.
