With new advances in animal welfare research and understanding, it is important that we are able to employ this science in our collections to ensure we are doing everything we can to promote positive animal welfare. The first session is solely dedicated to this theme with a direct focus on animal welfare assessment. The programme is then structured to reflect Mellor and Beausoleil’s (2015) extended Five Domains of Animal Welfare model. The four Physical/Functional Domains: Nutrition, Environment, Health & Behaviour and the one Affective Experience Domain: Mental State. Each domain is explored with the lens of the bridging the gap theme, focusing on how we can implement the research in each of these areas within the our zoos and aquariums.

P R E C O N F E R E N C E EAZA Academy Course Enriching Bridging the gap between ‘occupational enrichment’ Enrichment and ‘species specific ecology based enrichment’. This course is aimed at anyone involved or interested in the implementation of enrichment programs and their effect on an animals well-being. Using a theoretical and practical approach we will explore the different facets of planning, implementation, evaluation and re-adjustment of enrichment programs. Looking through the lens of promoting agency we will analyse how to achieve enrichment success in the physical, psychological engagement of an animal whilst aligning with species specific ecological needs.
