An organization becomes a Zoöp by adding a person with a special function: a Speaker for the Living. First of all, the Speaker is a person with a good ear and eye for the interests of other-than-human life in the operational sphere of the Zoöp. The Speaker helps translate these interests into the doings of the organization. The Speaker is an advisor, a teacher and board observer. In practice, the Speaker helps the Zoöp to follow the learning process of the Zoönomic Annual Cycle.
