  • 10 Worst Zoos for Elephants 2019
    10 Worst Zoos for Elephants 2019 Zoo Domination of Elephants Must End For elephants, life in a zoo is one of continual domination by humans. Placed on perpetual display in cramped enclosures, deprived of purpose and subjected to endless boredom, unable to choose their mates or friends and often separated from those with whom they have bonded - these defining features of captivity demand the ceaseless bending of elephants' wills to their human captors. The cumulative effects of domination contributes to the physical and psychological trauma that often leads to illness and premature death. The zoos on this year's 10 Worst Zoos for Elephants list are striking examples of the different ways that zoos harmfully dominate elephants, including separating long-bonded individuals and family members, repeatedly forcibly inseminating females, and condemning others to lives of extremely unnatural solitude. In cold-climate facilities, elephants spend winters shut inside cramped indoor enclosures, many of which force elephants to stand on unyielding concrete which can lead to debilitating foot and leg diseases and even death. Zoos often downplay animal welfare concerns and conceal their harmful domination of elephants from the public. Through campaigns of misleading advertising and skewed educational programs, zoos frequently depict elephants as content, and pretend that elephants somehow agree to, and even enjoy these living conditions. Yet in reality, captive elephants suffer as many of their needs go unmet. Physical and psychological harm is virtually unavoidable in zoosʼ domination of elephants and is the reason zoos are unable to improve the health and wellbeing of elephants under their control. No amount of space, financial investment or “enrichment” in public display facilities takes away the daily pain that zoo captivity inflicts on elephants.

  • Louisville Is Just Cool. “ It’S Cool Because the People Who Live There Are Proud of Where They Live, and Are Constantly Working to Make the City the Best It Can Be
    Louisville is just cool. “ It’s cool because the people who live there are proud of where they live, and are constantly working to make the city the best it can be. Whether you’re visiting briefly or have lived there for years, this community spirit is palpable.” — “Top 100 Places to Live,” Livability “It’s not bragging if you can back it up.” — Muhammad Ali Cover photo courtesy: Louisville Tourism The start of a new decade is a great time to review our progress and look ahead. This is something we do regularly at Metro Government, where we believe in learning from the past, living in the present and preparing for the future. That approach, along with hard work and a long list of community partners, has helped produce an incredible economic and cultural renaissance in Louisville. You can see evidence downtown with new landmarks like the Abraham Lincoln Bridge, opened in 2016, Omni Louisville Hotel, opened in 2018, and Lynn Family Stadium, which opens in 2020 as the new home of Louisville City FC and the future home of Proof Louisville FC. You can see this renaissance all over the city, from the Norton Sports Health Athletics & Learning Complex being built in west Louisville, to the restored Colonial Gardens in south Louisville, and the gorgeous trails of the Parklands of Floyds Fork in the east. There are many ways to quantify our city’s progress, including 83,000 new jobs and 3,000 new businesses since 2011, and $15 billion in capital investment since 2014, including about $1 billion in west Louisville.

  • 2016 SAFE Annual Report Will Provide Insight Into the Progress Made by All of Us Over the Past Year, As Well As a Sense of the Potential of SAFE
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT From Planning to Action AZA SAFE: Saving Animals From Extinction harnesses the collective expertise within our accredited zoos and aquariums and leverages their massive audiences to save critical species. At the same time, SAFE is building capacity to increase direct conservation spending, as well as our members’ impact on saving animals through work in the field, in our zoos and aquariums, and through public engagement. “AZA SAFE: Saving Animals From Extinction embodies the collaborative spirit of AZA-accredited aquariums and zoos. I firmly believe SAFE is a game-changer for the zoological community. SAFE is the right thing to do, it is what the public demands of us, and we have now begun to see its potential. We made great strides in 2016, and 2017 will be even better.” Dennis Kelly, Director at the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park and Conservation Biology Institute 1 2016: The Emerging Potential of SAFE For decades, conservation organizations around the world, including Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)- accredited facilities, have been working to protect animals and habitats. Still, animals that we have the ability to save continue to decline and disappear. With so many species at risk, a new approach to conservation is needed. AZA SAFE: Saving Animals From Extinction was created to do exactly this—to harness the collective power of AZA and its members to lessen species decline around the world in a more impactful way. And to do so strategically— moving from working on many smaller projects to large and coordinated efforts. SAFE takes a long-game approach to conservation, knowing that each year the activities initiated and supported by SAFE will build on those that came before.

  • Zoo Animal Rotation: New Opportunities from Home Range to Habitat Theater”, AZA Annual Proceedings 1995, Wheeling, WV, Pp
    Coe, Jon C. 1995, “Zoo Animal Rotation: New Opportunities from Home Range to Habitat Theater”, AZA Annual Proceedings 1995, Wheeling, WV, pp. 77-80. Zoo Animal Rotation: New Opportunities from Home Range to Habitat Theater Jon Charles Coe, FASLA, In 1995: Principal, CLRdesign inc. Since 2003: Jon Coe Design P/L [email protected] ABSTRACT American zoos are beginning to develop facilities around the concept of "animal rotation," wherein animals move through multiple enclosures in a simulation of "home range". Multiple species can occupy the same enclosures consecutively. This concept greatly increases spatial and behavioral opportunities for the animals and brings an important "discovery" component to the visitor experience. This new rotation concept could revolutionize the way zoo animals are managed and displayed. INTRODUCTION As observers of zoo trends, we are always interested in useful innovations, particularly those which combine cross-discipline collaboration in conservation biology, behavioral enrichment, operant conditioning, education and exhibit design. Such breakthroughs are especially exciting when they benefit both the animals and the visiting public. We believe that the zoo animal rotation concept discussed by this panel will be the most important advance in zoo exhibit design since the introduction of "landscape immersion" (Jones et al, 1976, Coe 1985) twenty years ago. Recent data and observations by my fellow panelists, a scientific observer and an animal keeper which will be presented after this paper, help to reinforce our enthusiasm. We define zoo animal rotation as the regular, controlled movement of individual or groups of animals through a series of enclosures by means of training and habituation.
