		Howletts is recognized internationally for the excellent breeding results, standards of care and housing and advances in husbandry techniques that have been achieved under Peter's management.

		Today there are around seventy gorillas in nine British zoos (all the Western Lowland subspecies), and two zoos in particular, Howletts Zoo and Jersey Zoo, have between them set new standards for the keeping of gorillas against which all other zoos must now be judged.

		Being aware of the conservation objectives of Howletts almost since its inception, and having been personally involved with Gerald Durrell, my mentor, for a period of over 35 years, while reflecting on their respective lives it has been fascinating to note the degree of resemblance between two such outstanding and unorthodox zoo and conservation visionaries.
		When he bought Howletts in 1956 the house was dilapidated, and its 18th-century symmetry and style had been obscured by tasteless Victorian additions; the five-year restoration he financed made it once again a model of Georgian elegance and charm.
		This zoo's location makes severe winter conditions predictable – it is `possibly the coldest major zoo in the world' – so, again, plans have to be in place ready for the crisis that, sooner or later, is bound to come.

		It must have been some bet; Howletts is a lovely house standing in more than 70 acres, where he's amassed a collection of animals second to none.
