Ursa International has been hired by the National Wildlife Foundation through funds provided by Environmental Fund of Jamaica, to guide the production of a Development Plan for the Hope Zoo, Kingston, Jamaica.  As part of the planning process, several interactive workshops are scheduled to gather information and form a consensus in regards to the physical design and layout of the Hope Zoo’s renovation.

This is a webpage "test" summary  of the graphics for the first workshop held during May 7 through May 10, 2001.  See the actual report for the detail discussions and decisions reached during the workshop by the workshop participants.  The information gathered during this workshop is being used to program and design the Development Plan.  We are pleased with the amount and substance of the discussions during the workshop and are looking forward to continuing this process. 

Please review this document and return any comments prior to our next workshop, scheduled June 18, 2001.
