Through Travellers' Alert , Zoo Check receives hundreds of complaints about captive wild animal suffering from the compassionate traveller, the majority of which appear to be animal 'attractions' in Europe. Bear in Barcelona Zoo: Zoo Check recieves many complaints about animals in Spain Born Free believes it is vitally important to work with other animal welfare organisations in other countries by sharing information and working together to tackle these problems with greater efficiency and speed. Born Free, through their Zoo Check Campaign is currently establishing a new initiative which will draw together similar-minded animal welfare organisations within the European Union to create the European Network for Animal Welfare, abbreviated as ENAW. Zoo Check invites similar-minded organisations to join ENAW: Working together to make a difference!

83. News First Rare Pythons Hatch in european Zoo. The first Savu pythons, Liasis macklottisavuensis, to be bred in a european zoo have hatched at Bristol Zoo Gardens. http://www.bristolzoo.org.uk/news/Savu pythons.htm

PRESS RELEASE December 2003 First Rare Pythons Hatch in European Zoo The first Savu pythons, Liasis macklotti savuensis , to be bred in a European zoo have hatched at Bristol Zoo Gardens. Nine baby pythons have emerged from their eggs following efforts by reptile experts at the Zoo to increase numbers as part of a conservation breeding programme. A relatively late “discovery” for the Western World, this snake was unknown to the scientific community until 1993. However, since their discovery, numbers in the wild have declined dramatically as a result of the impact of the pet trade. The Savu python is extremely rare, having the smallest geographical range of any python, as it is only found on one island in Indonesia, from which it takes its name. The island measures a mere 100 square kilometres. Over recent years, numbers have declined through the practice of taking snakes from the wild population to be sold as pets. Bristol Zoo Gardens has recognised the growing need to maintain numbers via co-ordinated breeding programmes to establish captive populations. The new hatchlings currently measure 30cm in length and weigh approximately 20 grams, but will grow to one metre in length when fully developed. The pythons are orange in colour when they first emerge from their eggs, but will become progressively darker as they mature over the next two to three years. This is also the time that the animals develop their distinctive white eyes, which characterises the Savu sub-species.

I commend this collaborative effort to optimize the health and welfare of our bear ambassadors in North American Zoos. I know Jordan first got involved in research as a keeper , and I encourage more young zoo professionals to connect with their local universities.

85. Zoo Outreach On The Internet Evaluation of ZooMobiles at Tierpark Goldau, Proceedings of the Conferenceof european Zoo Educators, Safari Beekse Bergen. Tobias http://www.izea.net/Outreach.htm

Zoo Outreach on the Internet Tobias Kamer For many years nature education and interpretation has been a primary goal of the Goldau Wild-Animal Park (Tierpark Goldau). The 80 or so species in the park comprise mostly indigenous animals. Many of them are endangered or even extinct in the wild in Switzerland (i.e. Brown Bears, Wolves and European Bison), while most others are difficult to observe in the wild. Through providing effective interpretation programs for our visitors (over 350,000 a year) Tierpark Goldau has become one of the most important places for informal environmental education in Switzerland (see also Kamer 1998). Despite more than fifteen thousand pupils visiting our zoo every year, our formal education opportunities were undersubscribed. Tierpark Goldau invests a lot of money and work in its education department and therefore considered new ways of promoting zoo education. First of all we started to evaluate our existing programs and found that most of the teachers using our facilities were very satisfied with them. Then we began to ask teachers what their expectations of us were and what constraints they felt they were under. The results led us to start new programs. These workshops which take the form of lectures by a professional zoo educator, seem to run well now.

89. ARTIS - A Cultural Zoo The last animal met its end in Poland in 1921. Fortunately a number of Europeanbison had already found safe haven in zoos and wildlife parks. http://www.artis.nl/international/cultural/11.html

European bison Young European bison A European bison is born almost every spring at Artis, often welcomed by a thunderous round of applause from the visiting public. The European bison (or wisent) looks very similar to its American relative but it carries a little less bulk. While American bison live on grassy plains, their European counterparts show a clear preference for a more wooded environment. For centuries the European bison was the largest wild animal in all of Europe. However, deforestation and hunting led to its extinction in the wild. The last animal met its end in Poland in 1921. Fortunately a number of European bison had already found safe haven in zoos and wildlife parks. Partly thanks to the efforts of Artis, an international breeding programme was set up, one that remains highly successful to this day. The programme to return the European bison to the wild in Russia and Poland has so far been a great success. There the bison is well and truly back on its old stomping ground. In the spring the bison's coats appear to be hanging loose, a question of moulting. The wild songbirds at Artis make grateful use of the hair to line their nests.

eleblog About This site is a collection of news about elephants. So far, most elephant news is very depressing - they are being killed for encroaching upon farmland and for their ivory, they are forced to perform in circuses, and are locked in zoos. Occasionally there is some good news but most of it tells of the conflict between elephants and humans and of humans capacity for greed and cruelty. If you are troubled by this news, please visit the links and support a wildlife organization or an elephant sanctuary.

Menu Home Information Forums Photo Gallery ... Carnivora Fisspedia Wolves Maned Wolf Chrysocyon brachyurus Listed as Endangered and Vulnerable by I.U.C.N the World Conservation Union and is the subject of special protection measures. Part of this includes a European-wide captive breeding effort co-ordinated by Frankfurt Zoo. Twenty years ago Maned wolves were difficult to establish and maintain in captivity. Many imported, wild-caught specimens died of a kidney disorder. Today, every animal in European zoos is captive bred and numbers are increasing at a steady rate. Our two animals were born at Prague Zoo and Amsterdam Zoo, and have been brought together at the instigation of the international studbook to introduce new " blood lines " and maximise genetic variation in the existing UK gene pool. On Friday, 4th December 1998, our remaining Maned Wold died suddenly. Although we didn't witness his death, just finding him lying in the paddock on Saturday morning, he had seemed in perfect health, eating well, moving about, and barking loudly. An initial Post Mortem at Glasgow University Veterinary Hospital Post Mortem Department found nothing."

Goals of the Center Pan troglodytes ), gorillas ( Gorilla gorilla ), Organgutans ( Pongo pygmaeus ), and bonobos ( Pan paniscus ). There is a special focus on the ontogeny of chimpanzee cognition. Researchers and students from the University of Leipzig, and other universities around the world, conduct their research projects at the center guided by the personnel of the Center. The Apes and their Housing The gorillas, bonobos, and orangutans at the Center come from various European zoos affiliated to the EEP and remain under the EEP's jurisdiction. The main group of chimpanzees come from another European research center and are all captive born. The chimpanzee orphans come from various zoos and research centers that are unable to provide the resources necessary for human rearing when an infant is rejected by its mother. The center has five sets of indoor and outdoor areas, one each for each of the four species plus the chimpanzee orphans (see Table 1). Each indoor area consists of an indoor enclosure, sleeping, observation, and resting rooms. The outdoor areas contain natural vegetation, climbing structures, trees, water streams, and various other natural features. In addition, there are two indoor rooms that serve as the nursery to provide special care for the chimpanzee orphans when they are still in their infancy.
