Andrew Greenwood Retires after 43 years



It's the end of an era at IZVG as today marked the beginning of Andrew Greenwood's official retirement from the practice. Andrew joined David Taylor as a partner in 1973 and, in 1976, they together formed the International Zoo Veterinary Group. An internationally recognised expert in avian diseases and marine mammal care, he is a Specialist in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Though out his career, Andrew has acted as veterinary advisor to a huge number of zoo groups and committees including various BIAZA and EAZA taxonomic and veterinary groups, EAAM, EAZWV, AAV to name but a few. Andrew has been a zoo inspector and was instrumental in bringing in the Zoo Licensing Act to the UK, when on the Zoos Forum, which was later included in to European Law. Andrew has served on the Council of Durrell Wildlife Trust and the Zoological Society of London. Not to leave out threatened species in the wild, Andrew as provided veterinary advice to the Mauritian Wildlife Trust for species recovery programmes for many years, was a Trustee of the World Parrot Trust and Wildlife Information Network and was one of the founders of Wildlife Vets International. In addition, Andrew has written and contributed to many published papers on a wide range of topics from marine mammal health, to supplement feeding of wild echo parakeets and zoological history. On a lighter note Andrew has been the vet on many productions that involved animals including One by One (about David Taylor) and more recently BBC’s Our Zoo (about the start of Chester Zoo). Andrew featured in Flying Vets, a series about International Zoo Veterinary Group’s work. Although we're certain Andrew will pop in and see us, he will be missed by us all at IZVG. Our warmest wishes for your retirement Andrew March 29th 2019
