Christine's memories - 40 years of care at Auckland Zoo

Christine has dedicated an incredible 40 years of her life to Auckland Zoo - and as you can imagine, she has witnessed many changes during this time.
In the zoo’s 100th year, Christine reflects on our journey to becoming the wildlife conservation science organisation we are today. She also fondly remembers some of the animals, like chimpanzee Janie, she has cared for along the way.
This is latest episode in our centenary series focusing on our past, present and looking forward to the future. Watch any episodes you’ve missed in our 'Auckland Zoo - Celebrating 100 Years' playlist.

Hi Christine, you've been a familiar face to me since 'The Zoo' back in the early 2000s and wanted to say thanks so much for your years of service. The primates have always been my favourite too and I'm sure the diversity of primate species at the zoo over the years has been encouraged in some part by yourself. You're a beautiful soul and again thank you. I hope this comment manages to get to Christine

Absolutely Awesome! What a great asset Christines caring nature is to the zoo, and as an ex-Aucklander I remember what a great place it was to visit as a child. 😊

You guys should have a million subscribers - and that many views for this remarkable video. Christine's heart for Janie and the other animals has probably affected more people than she realizes. Thank you for making a difference in the world of conservation and awareness. Paz y luz.
