China’s Yangtze River Dolphin now extinct August 10, 2007
The Chinese river dolphin is now officially extinct, according to scientists who could not find a single one of the animals during a six-week search on China’s Yangtze River. The first recorded extinction of a cetacean species to be caused by human activity. The small, nearly blind white dolphin, also known as the baiji, was nicknamed “the goddess of the Yangtze.”
The delicate dolphin, which dates back 20 million years, was found only in China’s longest river, the Yangtze.
The baiji represents a loss not just of a species but a whole family of animals which were …

Womad weather July 24, 2007
Zoozoo2 are off to the Womad World Music Festival tomorrow, so if your going drop by and see us. I hope the weather holds.
According to WOMAD the Charlton Park festival this weekend is definitely going ahead!
‘The festival will be going ahead this weekend as planned. The site has not been affected by flooding as it has a clay soil on limestone brash and is on high ground, allowing efficient drainage. The ground, including the camping and parking areas, is still solid. There is trackway for all the main routes of the festival site.’

Recycled Bike Tyre Belts at Zoozoo2
How cool is this! Belts made from recycled bicycle tyres. Each belt is an individual, unique and handmade. Each one comes with its own individual history. The tread bears the scars of every mile travelled, and every unauthorised skid.
These amazing belts are made from front tyres, which get less wear, so still have plenty of tread left. Each belt is unique and no two are the same. For more details click here

Killer plastic June 17, 2007
Andy Warhol said “Everybody’s plastic, but I love plastic. I want to be plastic.
Except for a small amount that’s been incinerated - and it is a very small amount - every bit of plastic ever made still exists.
At the same time, all over the globe, there are signs that plastic pollution is doing more than blighting the scenery; it is also making its way into the food chain. Some of the most obvious victims are the dead seabirds that have been washing ashore in startling numbers, their bodies packed with plastic: things like bottle caps, cigarette lighters, tampon applicators, …
We are all just little people June 15, 2007
There is an old African proverb it goes…
if many little people
in many little places
do many little deeds
They can change the face of the world.
Well that’s exactly how we feel at zoozoo2. It doesn’t matter how small it is just do it.
As surfers, snowboarders, scuba d’s or runners we can play our small part in determining what happens to our planet by the consumer choices we make and the little things we do.

Still Endangered
‘Until recently, humankind seemed to view the ocean as a source of infinite resources. Its vast size and depth and unexplored frontiers made the ocean appear invulnerable to overexploitation. The truth is that the populations of many species are decreasing at an unsustainable rate, and the number of species listed as endangered from marine life families such as whales, dolphins, manatees and dugongs, salmon, seabirds, sea turtles, and sharks to name a few, are on the rise.’ [quote taken from marinebio.org]
In recognition of the ever increasing strain on our world’s marine populations …
