Zoorasia - Bali Mynah?

Zoorasia - Bali Mynah?
12-10-2008

I was looking through ISIS and saw that Zoorasia had 47.63.8 Bali Mynahs, does anybody know if this is right? or just another mistake on ISIS?

I cannot imagine a single zoo maintaining some many Bali mynah or it would be all over the front page in the news. Probably a good candidate for data clean up (I wonder how they actually manage this themselves as some mistakes are clearly borne out by ZIMS/ISIS system and not by the individual zoos reporting new data).

Zoorasia has indeed Bali Mynahs, but actually it's not Zoorasia but "Preservation and Research Center, The City of Yokohama" (located in Zoorasia) who has that many Bali Mynahs. They exchanged note of agreement with Indonesian Government to send 100 Bali Mynahs in 7 years to Indonesia. Also apart from the agreement, they have already sent 50 each in 2005 & 2006 to the preservation centers in Indonesia for captive breeding.
