		It may well be that the deeply felt tradition of the zoo as a place to experience animals one would not encounter in everyday life, combined with the image of noble endeavour that the zoo itself creates, contributes to a reluctance to view the Melbourne Zoo with a more critical eye.
		Gerald Durrell (1976), founder of the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust, discusses in his book The Stationary Ark, what the role of zoos should be and was the first to re-define the role and value of zoos in the latter part of the 20th century.
		The Zoo Story is an in-depth look at the sociology of the zoo; however, it must be considered in context of the original research which was commissioned by the Melbourne Zoo Board in honor of their revolutionary zoo director, Dr Alfred Dunbavin, upon his retirement.
