The Animal Keepers Association of Africa has in the last INTRODUCING ‘RETHINK THE BAG’: issue proudly introduced Penguin Promises, but this time Now we have ‘ReThink the Bag' Campaign which is a brain child we would like to combine and introduce you to another of one of our AKAA members who works at TwoOceans which will become for Animal Keepers a conservation Aquarium in Cape Town. Through her love affair with the ocean medium for change. and land Hayley Mclellen approached AKAA with this concept as a tool for change. She is passionate about conservation and through her passion with AKAA intends to drive through all their activities in the future the message that we can make a difference. Even if it is in small ways, each one can make a difference to the animals under our care, be they our charges at work or along the road, or in the river and oceans. Plastic is an amazing product, and we should be respecting it as much as we respect our planet. Refuse, Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle, Respect! Through the AKAA campaigns: www.penguinepromises.com and www.rethinkthebag.org people from all over can become inspired to participate in AKAA’s conservation initiatives.

ICZ Keeper Notes KEEPER NOTES From The ‘ABWAK’ Chair A new ABWAK website Evolution is a natural process in the zoo world as it is for the rest of the natural world. Nothing can stay the same indefinitely. So it is with ABWAK, founded in 1974 a time when many things were different, and over the last few years we have begun to evolve ABWAK into a strong organisation delivering tangible benefits to all of our members. As part of our strategic process we are always questioning what the modern Animal Keeper in Britain and Ireland wants and/or expects from their professional membership organisation. At our Strategy Meeting in September 2010 it was agreed by the council that we should further develop our online presence and the tools/resources that we can offer to our members through our website. The current website was redesigned completely in 2007/2008 and has provided us with a more professional online image. Now the time has come to invest again in the website, to take it (and ABWAK) to the next level. Over the next 6-12 months regular visitors to the website (www.abwak.org) should see a dramatic transformation in style, functionality and content. Along with the brand new look and feel, there will be an online payment option for memberships as well as a comprehensive Resource Centre. The Resource Centre is possibly one of our more ambitious ideas. In the past ABWAK was very much at the forefront of writing husbandry guidelines/manuals for different taxa. This was in a period when no one else was doing this, and to a certain extent ABWAK was the resource for Animal Keepers in the region. The new ABWAK is no longer the organisation to write these guidelines or even to necessarily produce new resources; instead we are aiming to be the ‘one-stop shop’ for online and external resources relevant to animal keepers. There is lots of very good very relevant information out there and we want to ensure that our members know where to find it and bring it to their attention. By bringing this information together, in one location, we hope that we can meet our vision: to unite the collective expertise of wild Animal Keepers to continually advance the highest levels of animal care. Along with the web design company we have hired, our team of council members are busy rewriting some of the content, reviewing images and collecting resources. All being, well we hope to launch the new website at our Annual Symposium at Bristol Zoo, March 2012. The plan is not to have a static website, but one that can change and evolve over time as new information and resources become available. That way we hope we can continue to meet the needs of the modern animal keeper. Ross Snipp MSc. Chair of ABWAK Zoo Manager, Flamingo Land ICZ Keeper Notes KEEPER NOTES The Harpij in 2010 The Harpij, the Dutch and Belgium Zookeepers Organization, is with 1200 members a big foundation. Most of the members are zoo employees, but we have also a lot of students and other zoo minded people who have joined us. The Harpij started about 30 years ago in Wassenaar Zoo. Since the beginning the Harpij published a magazine called ‘De Harpij’ four times a year and organized a Congress. A couple of years ago foundation the Harpij, ‘only’ published a magazine, organized a congress and a sport day every year. This congress was a big success every time a most of the years around 200 Zookeepers and other zoo interested people joined the congress every year.

    Naam: Margreet Voogd Opleiding: CAH Dronten Datum: juni 2010 Vaksenior: dhr. Ekkel Voorwoord In het kader van de opleiding Dier- en Gezondheidszorg aan de Christelijke Agrarische Hogeschool Dronten heb ik mijn eindopdracht gedaan over circusdieren. Ik had over dit onderwerp al een aantal dingen gelezen en het sprak me erg aan. Er waren zoveel verschillende meningen dat ik er van overtuigd raakte dat er iets moest gebeuren. In dit onderzoek heb ik gekeken naar de richtlijnen die nu gebruikt worden in de Nederlandse circussen. Daarnaast heb ik ook gekeken naar de richtlijnen die gebruikt worden in het buitenland. Wetenschappelijke literatuur over de betreffende diersoorten is ook gebruikt. Aan de hand van al deze informatie zijn er nieuwe richtlijnen opgesteld. Er zijn een aantal mensen betrokken geweest bij dit onderzoek. Zij hebben gezorgd voor informatie en feedback. Allereerst wil ik Dhr. D. Ekkel van de CAH Dronten bedanken. Hij was mijn vaksenior en heeft de kwaliteit en voortgang van dit product bewaakt. Ten tweede wil ik Dhr. B. Aalders en Dhr. W. Verdonck van DierenPark Amersfoort bedanken. Zij hebben mij voorzien van informatie (richtlijnen en literatuur over dierentuindieren) en feedback. Daarnaast wil ik Dhr. H. Hopster bedanken en mevrouw A. Vergossen (ministerie LNV) voor het bekritiseren en het geven van feedback over mijn onderzoek. Ook Arno van der Valk, voorzitter van stichting Pantera, heeft mij regelmatig van informatie voorzien. Ik ben zelfs een dagje op bezoek geweest bij de stichting. Dit gaf mij veel inzicht in de roofdieren en ook veel stof tot nadenken. Als laatste wil ik de familie Dieck bedanken.
