The Zoo on the Road to Nablus

Living on Earth

The only remaining zoo in the West Bank opened in 1986, a year before the first Palestinian intifada. Amelia Thomas tells the story of how it’s survived the violence and poverty of the occupied territory in her new book “The Zoo on the Road to Nablus: A Story of Survival from the West Bank.” Living on Earth host Bruce Gellerman talks with Thomas about the animals and people that keep the zoo open.
