  • Primates Don't Make Good Pets! Says Lincoln Park
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EDITOR’S NOTE: Photos of an appropriate multi-male, multi-female group of chimpanzees at Lincoln Park Zoo can be found HERE. Pet trade images are not shared as Lincoln Park Zoo research shows when these images of chimpanzees in human settings are circulated, chimpanzees are not believed to be endangered. Primates Don’t Make Good Pets! Says Lincoln Park Zoo Series of manuscripts from the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes bring light to the detrimental effects of atypically-housed chimpanzees Chicago (December 13, 2017) – The Wolf of Wall Street movie. Weezer’s “Island in the Sun” music video. Michael Jackson’s “pet” Bubbles. While these may seem like unrelated pop culture references, they all have a similarly daunting theme: the use of chimpanzees in the pet or entertainment trade. These chimpanzees typically are raised by humans and rarely see others of their own species until they are fortunate enough to be moved to an accredited zoo or sanctuary. For years, Lincoln Park Zoo researchers have documented the long-term effects of this unusual human exposure on chimpanzees. Now, a third and final study in a series has been published in Royal Society Open Science Dec. 13 showcasing the high stress levels experienced by these chimpanzees who have been raised in human homes and trained to perform for amusement. Over the course of the three years, Fisher Center researchers evaluated more than 60 chimpanzees – all now living in accredited zoos and sanctuaries - and examined the degree to which they were exposed to humans and to their own species over their lifetime to determine the long-term effects of such exposure.

  • Chicago-Area Museums Contribute to Illinois in Valuable Ways
    CHICAGO-AREA MUSEUMS, GARDENS, ZOOS, AND AQUARIA Proudly Serving Illinois for 160 years Chicago-area museums contribute to Illinois in valuable ways. ECONOMIC IMPACT: As employers, contractors, and tourist attractions, Chicago-area museums have a major regional economic impact, leading to jobs, tourism, and improved quality of life. $850 million total estimated annual economic impact 3,700 employees 23,000 full-time equivalent jobs supported 5 million non-Illinois visitors annually $40 million in state tax revenue $38 million in city tax revenue These leading museums represent a unique public/private partnership. Of their combined budgets of $427 million, only 14% comes from public sources (Cook County Forest Preserve District/Chicago Park District). The remaining 86% comes from admissions, private philanthropy, competitive research grants, facilities rental fees, museum store sales, and other earned revenue sources. EDUCATION: Chicago-area museums are a resource for local organizations across Illinois to provide effective education, outreach and affordable access. All Illinois school groups are admitted free of charge. 1.6 million school children visit Chicago museums each year. Illinois residents enjoy 52 free days at most of the major Chicago museums. Illinois teachers and active military personnel receive free admission every day. Museums make meaningful contributions to educating a new generation, through: o Teacher Training o Pre-K through 12 Curricula o Support of Home School Communities o Teen Intern Programs o Lifelong Learning Programs for Seniors . EXHIBITING GLOBAL TREASURES: Museums contribute to Chicago’s status as a world-class city. We safeguard 50 million+ collections holdings. By way of comparison, the national collections at the Smithsonian Institution number 141 million items.

  • Jaguars As Landscape Detectives for the Conservation of Atlantic Forests in Brazil
    Jaguars as Landscape Detectives for the Conservation of Atlantic Forests in Brazil by Laury Cullen Jr. Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Biodiversity Management Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) University of Kent Canterbury November 2006 ii Dedication In dedication to the loving memory of my father Laury Cullen (1934-2002) (Photo by Laury Cullen Jr.) “ the jaguar was sent to the world as a test of the will and integrity of first humans” (Colombian indigenous myth, Davis 1996) iii Abstract In this thesis, I show how the jaguar Panthera onca can be used as a landscape detective. A landscape detective is defined as a species that helps determine how to manage landscapes and to design and manage protected area networks. Life history and behavioural features of jaguar make them potentially suitable as landscape species. The main aim of this study is to use the jaguar as a landscape detective to develop a network of core protected areas for the Upper Paraná Region, which lies in the highly threatened Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Information was collected on jaguar density and home range, which was combined with habitat requirements of the species and GIS-generated maps of land cover to develop a map of habitat suitability. This map was used to understand the spatial structure of the jaguar metapopulation, identifying habitat patches of high suitability where jaguar populations exist and are likely to survive over the long-term. Camera trapping and capture-recapture models were used to derive jaguar population size in Morro do Diabo State Park (MDSP).
