Endorsement from Jack Hanna Director Emeritus, Columbus Zoo & Aquarium 2003

"I am excited to hear that Jordan and the new Laboratory for Wildlife and Environmental Health at OSU's veterinary school are collaborating with Don Kuenzer, Jordan's long-time mentor at the Cleveland Zoo, and one of my oldest friends in the zoo profession. Don and his colleagues on the Bear Taxon Advisory Group are helping Jordan contribute to captive bear conservation through his animal health research in zoos across the nation. Jordan's planning to work with some of our bears currently on exhibit at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.  I commend this collaborative effort to optimize the health and welfare of our bear ambassadors in North American Zoos. I know Jordan first got involved in research as a keeper, and I encourage more young zoo professionals to connect with their local universities. Conservation is a team effort and we need to work together if we are going to protect natural habitat and save species."
