What do Hollywood actor Tobey Maguire and Singapore Zoo have in common? They both celebrated their birthday on June 27. While "Spider-Man" turned 48, Singapore's world-class zoological institution turned a fab 50. The entire year has been affectionately termed Singapore Zoo's Golden ZOObilee, and is dedicated to celebrating five decades of animal conservation and recognising the hard work and dedication.
The Singapore Zoo celebrates its Golden ZOObilee this year, marking five decades of animal conservation thanks to the unwavering dedication of its volunteers, local students, and animal care staff. From its humble beginnings with just two dozen keepers in 1973, the wildlife park now has over 100 animal caretakers who work tirelessly to act for nature, protect wildlife, and help.
