About ZooCO
Who we are
ZooCO ZooConsultancy is an independent Dutch consultancy firm founded out of a passion for animals, conservation, and education. We specialize in helping public and private organizations improve their animal welfare, legal compliance, and social relevance.
Our background
With more than 10 years of experience in zoo education, policy advising, volunteer management and facility auditing, ZooCO supports both grassroots foundations and local governments. We’ve worked with:
-
Regional zoos and wildlife parks (e.g., BestZOO)
-
Municipal children’s farms and public green spaces
-
Animal shelters and welfare organizations
-
Dutch and EU regulations concerning animal housing and species registration
Our strength
We combine regulatory expertise with on-the-ground experience. We speak the language of policy makers, caretakers, and educators alike. We don’t just deliver reports — we help you move forward.
Founder
ZooCO is run by Remco Walravens, who has worked in zoo education, volunteer coordination, facility planning, and advisory work for municipalities and animal parks. He’s also the driving force behind Zoovaria and involved in Stichting Wildlife (ZooParc Overloon).
