Summary:
The
Baghdad
Zoo
was once home to more than six hundred magnificent animals. But after the war in Iraq began in 2003, the city faced widespread destruction. When U. S. Army Captain William Sumner was asked to check out the state of the
zoo
, he found that it, too, was devastated. Hundreds of animals were missing, and the few remaining were in desperate need of care. And so Captain Sumner accepted a new mission. Together with an international team of zoologists, veterinarians, conservationists, and dedicated animal lovers, Captain Sumner worked tirelessly to save the neglected animals of
Baghdad
.
Saving
the
Baghdad
Zoo
tells the poignant stories of these remarkable animals. The
Baghdad
Zoo
, open once again to the people of Iraq, has become an oasis of
hope
and safety in a city where both are precious gifts.
