Join award winning author, Kathi Diamant as she discusses her new book, "Heart of the Zoo: How San Diego Zoo Director Chuck Bieler Earned His Stripes," the extraordinary story of how Chuck Bieler saved the San Diego Zoo and helped to create an international conservation organization where all wildlife thrives. In the 1970s, a new era for zoos dawned as the world became aware of the challenges facing wildlife. To help save shrinking habitats and endangered wildlife populations, zoos had to evolve from their role as living museums to centers of conservation. Working as executive director and then development director, Bieler helped usher in a brighter future for wildlife around the globe, launching international conservation efforts, navigating economic challenges, and creating a new blueprint for habitats.
