  • WORZ Elephant Report Summary 5 March 2018
    WORZ Asian Elephant Facilities and Management Study Summary Prepared for Elephant Planning Workshop, 5 March 2018 Werribee Open Range Zoo − Zoos Victoria Jon Coe Design, Pty. Ltd. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Werribee Open Range Zoo has a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create the world’s best zoo elephant display and management system. It has the expansive site, agreeable climate, motivated and capable staff and most of all the animal welfare mandate to achieve this goal while creating a world-class visitor experience and adding essential research findings benefiting elephant managers the world over. Global populations of wild and traditionally managed elephants are plummeting and the need for self-sustaining insurance populations has never been greater. Thus, this program supports both Zoos Victoria's animal welfare and wildlife conservation mandates. Many in both the global modern zoo community and animal welfare groups agree that despite notable recent progress, zoo elephant facilities and management systems are still not good enough. This realization, supported by recent research and massive public support in many cities, has led to a new Golden Age in zoo elephant design and management, with breakthrough facilities recently across in the US and in Europe. This study profiles research findings from nine ground-breaking international zoo elephant facilities ranging from smaller, urban and intensively managed facilities such as those in Copenhagen and Dublin to expansive and more passively managed exhibits at Boras Djurpark in Sweden and the very green open range facility at North Carolina Zoo. It includes facilities displaying elephants with other species (Dallas Zoo, Boras Djurpark) and exhibits where elephants, rhinos and other species rotate (time share) in ever- moving circuits (Denver Zoo).

During the Second World War, the Żabińskis saved many Polish citizens of Jewish descent, providing them with shelter in the Warsaw Zoological Garden. The plaque, funded by the Warsaw Branch of the Institute of National Remembrance, was installed on the walls of the "Villa under a Crazy Star" on the premises of the Warsaw Zoo. At the ceremony, Jarosław Szarek said, This modest plaque unveiled today tells the story of great people – great in their hearts and love – the story of the director of the Warsaw Zoo, Jan Żabiński and his wife Antonina. Here, in this villa, at a time when Poland and many European countries were flooded by German evil, they built an ark, and let about 300 Jews - some of them listed on the plaque - board it. These people were fortunate to live to see the flood of evil back down. Nobody betrayed them, and the survivors could for years tell the story of their benefactors. And added, 20 years after the war, the Żabińskis were honoured with the title of Righteous Among the Nations, and a few years ago, the story of their Ark was filmed in Hollywood by New Zealand director Niki Karo.
