    Extractions: Archives Among all the ideas floated at the Bluetooth Congress, the zoo tracker stood out as an exemplary application to showcase the wireless technology's social benefits. In his presentation on the BlueTags system, Peter Lund, vice president of business development at BlueTags, said the system would not only find lost children but would allow parents to "set their kids loose" to explore. Lund said the system could trace visitor's movements electronically throughout the zoo. He added that security measures have been devised to alert the data center when a BodyTag is either damaged or discarded. BlueTags is providing the zoo an entire child-tracking infrastructure, including the "BodyTag," and its specially developed tracking software. While neither zoo nor BlueTags disclosed the cost of the system, Lund said the Aalborg Zoo initially purchased 200 BodyTags and is installing about 50 Bluetooth/WirelessLAN access points.

    Extractions: Tel: +44 (0) 20 7449 6444 Since the year 2000 the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) has been running annual, Europe-wide conservation campaigns. These aim to raise money for conservation projects in the wild and to increase public awareness, both of the threats to wildlife and of the role zoos play in its conservation. To join EAZA, zoos must pass an accreditation inspection and be committed to supporting field conservation. Each year there is a different campaign theme and 2003 is the turn of the tiger. There are lots of tigers in European zoos, and they are very popular with visitors, so the campaign presents a perfect opportunity for these cats to be effective ambassadors for their wild relatives. In fact, there is so much interest among the zoos that for the first time, EAZA has decided to extend the campaign for a second year; it will run until the end of 2004. Well over 100 European zoos, from Portugal to the Czech Republic, have registered, pledging to raise as much money as possible and to publicise the need for support for wild tigers. The campaign has even been taken up by zoos outside Europe; it is endorsed by the

    Extractions: Do you fancy running a magical marathon race along the banks of the Moskva River to raise money for AMUR? If so join our half marathon team which is made up of local and international runners. We only have a limited number of places for international runners so please contact us to reserve your place. If the Half Marathon is too much for you you could consider running the 10km race instead! Michael Sayles and his father Phillip will be walking for a week in June 2004 across all the peaks in the Lake District to raise money for AMUR. The walk will take them to the top of every single mountain in the Lake District that is higher than 2500 feet, of which there are 56 (plus many others that are not quite that high in between!). Once they have reached the top of Blencathra (peak 34 of 56) they will have ascended the same height as climbing Everest. The total ascent during the walk will be approximately equal to 44,000 feet!

    Extractions: Being one of the oldest zoological gardens in Russia, Leningradsky Zoo is also known to be a northernmost one. It was opened on August 14, 1865, founded by two animal-lovers, Sophia and Julius Hebhardt. Located in the historical center of St. Petersburg, not far from the famous St. Peter and Paul Fortress, the Zoo nowadays occupies an area of about 7,5 hectares and demonstrates nearly two thousand animals belonging to 410 species. Each beast, bird or reptile is peculiar as well as attractive in its own way. The Polar bear was chosen for our Zoo's emblem due to the fact that these rare arctic animals have got acclimatized in St. Peterburg perfectly well and have been breeding here regularly since 1932. Our site provides its visitors with ample opportunity to acquaint themselves with the past, present and future of Leningradsky Zoo, to read cognitive as well as entertaining pages depicting life and peculiarities of its inhabitants, to admire their photos. We hope this site will prove to be useful and interesting for both animal-lovers and specialists. Our address: Russia, 197198, St. Petersburg, Aleksandrovsky park, 1

Saving rare animals For specialists Home zoo Page of humour World zoos Desktops Our awards Elks are the largest of all deer. An adult elk may be 3 m long, 2,3 m tall and weigh about 600 kg. Elks inhabit woods of Eurasia and North America. Quite recently, in the Saint-Petersburg region there were so many of them that from time to time an elk would have strayed into the city. And it was almost impossible to go to a forest and not to come across the elk's droppings if not an animal itself. However, times have changed, and because of unbridled poaching their population sharply decreased during the last 5 years. Elks are seldom kept in zoos. There are usually fewer baby elks born in captivity than baby elephants. Yet at our zoo elks have the young every year. In 1995 there were even two twins born. It is due to great efforts of the duke of Bedford that pere Davide's deer hasn't ceased to exist. What he did was collect all the deer left in European zoos in his estate. They were only 16 at the beginning. By 1930s deer numbered already 180. In 1932 a few of them were sent back to the country of their origin, to China. The Moscow zoo and our zoo got first pere Davide's deer in 1964. 40 baby deer have been born since.

    Extractions: These two maxims provide the premise for the conservation of theatened species undertaken by a large network of European zoos. The EEP organisation, an abbreviation of the "European Endangered Species Programme" coordinates and stimulates the endeavours towards that conservation . Threatened anirnals in zoos serve as ambassadors of nature, conveying the importance and urgency of nature conservation. Even now the very existente of a number of these species has become entirely dependent an zoos. The earth is the house of life. We all live together on this earth: plants, animals, and people; creating an intertwining, interconnecting web of life. Only unbroken this network ensures a house where it is good to live. Each plant and animal forms a fibre and is thus important, whether inhabiting a Dutch polder, a mountain side in the Alps, or even a far away sea or desert. Every human being shares a responsibility for all other life within this web and for maintaining the livability of our house.

    Extractions: Live hard, die young - how elephants suffer in zoos On 23rd October the RSPCA published the fullest ever study into the welfare of elephants in zoos. The study, conducted by scientists at Oxford University shows elephants die young in European zoos, having suffered from deficient enclosures, poor diet, illness, inappropriate social grouping, and rough treatment at the hands of their keepers. Do elephants really belong in places like this... Adult elephants in European zoos have about half the 30-year lifespan of their counterparts working in Asian timber camps, when they could expect to reach 60-65 in the wild. Zoo breeding programmes also have an abysmal record - 35% of zoo females fail to breed, 15-25% of Asian zoo babies are stillborn, and another 6-18% are rejected or even killed by their mothers. Zoo enclosures can be 60 to 100 times smaller than the smallest wild territories - with 90% of those in Europe providing no grazing. For several years CAPS has investigated the keeping of elephants in zoos, and our major undercover investigation of elephant training at Blackpool Zoo was widely covered in the RSPCA report. We have for a long time criticised the training of elephants in zoos to perform circus-style tricks, and these tricks have also been condemned in this report.

    Extractions: Home A day of joy - I wish I had reason to say content - the day I surfed into the home page of the Carpathian Ecoregion Initiativ: www.carpathians.org/part_info.htm Finally society seems to have decided to safeguard the future existence of the mighty European herbivor and use whatever suitable habitat in and around the Carpathian region that can be made available. Ecoregion Initiative held a summit meeting in April in Bucharest. Reported to attend was Prince Philip and 7 Heads of state. Further 9 countries represented by high officials had been signed in for the meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to agree on a resolution to set up plans for protection of some 210 000 square km in the Carpathian region, with Romania and Slovakia having the main contribution. The project Ecoregion Initiative is run through the Vienna WWF office. It seems plausible to accept that the aerea big enough to house a free-ranging herd of European Bison, big enough to be left to live their own life without genetic damages. Thus I admit having been too pessimistic as to the possibilities of finding space enough.

    Extractions: HSI condemns zoo plans to import Asian elephants As work on the new Asian exhibit at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo heads towards completion, Humane Society International (HSI) has joined forces with other international and national welfare and conservation groups to oppose plans by Taronga to replace the two Asian elephants already living at the zoo by importing four more highly endangered Asian Elephants from Thailand – Taronga plans to import a total of nine Asian elephants in conjunction with Melbourne and Auckland Zoos. Australia’s domestic legislation on importation of live animals requires that “ the person receiving the animal is suitably equipped to manage, confine and care for the animal, including meeting the behavioural and biological needs of the animal ” (EPBC Regulations 2000 Reg 9A.05 Welfare of live specimens ). Under the law the importation requires the approval of the Federal Environment Minister, Dr David Kemp. HSI will advise the Minister to reject the proposal on animal welfare and conservation grounds. Behavioural and biological needs not be met “HSI does not believe Australian zoos meet the behavioural and biological needs of an elephant. Asian elephants in the wild have a complex social structure and live in family groups which roam over vast areas. Should the importations be approved, we believe the critically endangered animals would be forced to exist in an environment that is a far cry from what is required to satisfy their needs

    Extractions: Elephant pox seems actually be a strain of normal cow pox, and is one of the most dangerous diseases for elephants. Most often, it is spread to the elephants from rodents. It is lethal, and was until vaccination programmes, responsible for the death of many elephants. (Kuntze and Janetzky, 1982; Pade et al., 1990). Even when treated, an infection leads to an enormous suffer for the elephants, and should be avoided at any prize. Several outbreaks were recorded from european Zoos during 1900 (Magdeburg:1971, Dresden), possibly with origin from circuses, and since the elephants at european circuses are still not enough veterinary monitored, they may remain as a potential infection spreader. The latest recorded infections was: 2000 in Erfurt; Germany, where 2 adult asian elephants on a small Circus, was infected with cow pox. The owner were still performing with the infected animals in the ring, hiding the ulcus with silver color bandages, when a vet passed by and saw the elephants one day, just by ocassion. The Smallpox has reached a level that the elephants had to be euthanized. (Hinke, 2000) 2001 in Hannover Zoo, Germany, stillbirth of

PROTECTION OF NATURE AND BIODIVERSITY To adopt minimum standards for housing and caring for animals in zoos and to reinforce the role of zoos in conserving biodiversity. Council Directive 1999/22/EC of 29 March 1999 on the keeping of wild animals in zoos. Many live animals in European zoos are kept under unacceptable conditions. Animals in captivity must be regarded as part of our environmental heritage and natural resources. The keeping of animals in zoos must therefore be regulated to ensure the preservation of species while retaining a role in education and scientific research. The Directive aims to protect wildlife and to preserve biodiversity by providing for the adoption by the Member States of measures for granting licences and inspecting zoos within the Community. "Zoos" are defined as all permanent establishments where live animals are kept, with a view to public display for seven days per year or more, with the exception of circuses and pet shops; also those establishments that the Member States exempt from the requirements of this Directive by virtue of the fact that they do not display a significant number of animals or species to the public and that this exemption does not undermine the objectives of this Directive. The Member States guarantee that all zoos will implement the following conservation measures: participating in research and exchange of information on the conservation of species (reproduction in captivity, repopulation, reintroduction of species to the wild);
