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. Join our Facebook group 'EAZA Animal Welfare' for updates on the programme, and keep an eye on the website: https://www.eaza.net/events/eaza-animal-welfare-forum/ Please note: All programme details were correct at the point of programme release. However, details may be subject to change. Refunds cannot be given due to programme change. 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.

Background City of Helsinki has a mission to be carbon neutral in 2050. There’s a half a million visitors in Korkeasaari Zoo every year. Hence Korkeasaari has a lot of visibility and a great chance to be the trailblazer and advisor when Helsinki is reaching towards carbon neutrality. The Zoo would set an example and educate visitors and corporations to act in an environmentally friendly manner. Carbon neutral Korkeasaari will improve the whole image of Helsinki and Finland. Environmental friendliness will again make the Zoo more fascinating and stimulating, which has a positive impact on visitor satisfaction. With smart actions it is possible to decrease energy consumption and thereby decrease costs of energy in Korkeasaari. Previous energy review for Korkeasaari was done in 1998. In 2016 Korkeasaari and the city of Helsinki began planning new energy vision for the zoo. New strategy is to transform Korkeasaari carbon neutral by 2025. Buildings and structures of the zoo are old and thereby neither in good condition nor energy efficient. Korkeasaari forms also a significant part of the electricity consumption of Helsinki.

Viewed from the perspective of several hundred years of history, the Arctic character and Northernness have never been recorded in the development plans or government programmes for the area that later became known as Finland in as much detail as they were in Finland’s Arctic Strategy published in 2010.

    LABORATORY PRIMATE NEWSLETTER Vol. 44, No. 2 April 2005 JUDITH E. SCHRIER, EDITOR JAMES S. HARPER, GORDON J. HANKINSON AND LARRY HULSEBOS, ASSOCIATE EDITORS MORRIS L. POVAR, CONSULTING EDITOR ELVA MATHIESEN, ASSISTANT EDITOR ALLAN M. SCHRIER, FOUNDING EDITOR, 1962-1987 Published Quarterly by the Schrier Research Laboratory Psychology Department, Brown University Providence, Rhode Island ISSN 0023-6861 POLICY STATEMENT The Laboratory Primate Newsletter provides a central source of information about nonhuman primates and re- lated matters to scientists who use these animals in their research and those whose work supports such research. The Newsletter (1) provides information on care and breeding of nonhuman primates for laboratory research, (2) dis- seminates general information and news about the world of primate research (such as announcements of meetings, research projects, sources of information, nomenclature changes), (3) helps meet the special research needs of indi- vidual investigators by publishing requests for research material or for information related to specific research prob- lems, and (4) serves the cause of conservation of nonhuman primates by publishing information on that topic. As a rule, research articles or summaries accepted for the Newsletter have some practical implications or provide general information likely to be of interest to investigators in a variety of areas of primate research. However, special con- sideration will be given to articles containing data on primates not conveniently publishable elsewhere. General descriptions of current research projects on primates will also be welcome. The Newsletter appears quarterly and is intended primarily for persons doing research with nonhuman primates. Back issues may be purchased for $5.00 each.

Therefore, we evaluated this topic in capuchin monkeys. We trained 10 capuchins to associate two types of tokens (A and B) with different amounts of food. Then, we assessed performance in relative numerousness judgment tasks with food (Experiment 1) and with tokens A (Experiment 2). In both experiments, all ca- puchins chose the highest quantity regardless of the type of item presented. Then, in Experi- ment 3 one token B was presented against 1–5 tokens A. Four capuchins used a flexible strategy, maximizing their payoff. Experiment 4 required the capuchins to choose between 1 and 2 to- kens B, and 3 and 6 tokens A. Only one subject always maximized his payoff in this task.
