  • Zoo-Based Research
    Student and voluntary research placement 2020-2021 Zoo-based research The Wild Planet Trust owns three zoos: Paignton Zoo, Livings Coasts & Newquay Zoo. The Field Conservation and Research department is responsible for co-ordinating the research conducted at our zoos. We mainly concentrate on applied research, aiming to enhance knowledge and understanding that will lead directly to better practice in all aspects of zoo operations. Placements students will be carrying out research at any of our three zoo sites. Research themes include behavioural management, breeding and parenting behaviours, human-animal interactions and nutrition. Zoo-based studies may require collection of a variety of data including behaviour, vocalisations, personality assessment, food intake and faecal sampling. Research involves working closely with other departments in the zoo, particularly the animal, veterinary, education and garden departments. PAST PROJECTS Several students have achieved awards, including best speaker at the Annual BIAZA Research Symposium. Past projects include: Extinct in the wild? Investigating breeding behaviours and chick rearing in the critically endangered Edwards’s pheasant in captivity. The effects of feeding schedules on Sumatran tiger behaviour and dry matter digestibility. The effect of artificial UVB on primate behaviour. POTENTIAL PROJECTS Research topics may include monitoring the behaviour of bird species, as a model for in situ conservation efforts and investigating the efficacy of breeding management for primate species which are part of European captive breeding programmes. A key area for development is monitoring the impact of our future zoo-site developments. We also conduct regular observations on the behaviour of our Hamadryas baboon troop, to help support management decisions and monitor breeding.

  • Devon Crayfish Ark Project Officer Brief For
    Invitation to Tender: Devon Crayfish Ark Project Officer Contract title: Devon Crayfish Ark Project Officer Contract start: 9th March 2020 Contract finish: 30th November 2020 Brief for potential contractors Background The white-clawed crayfish is the only species of crayfish native to the UK; it has declined dramatically throughout much of its range since the 1970s. This decline is largely due to introductions of invasive non-native crayfish species and associated pathogens, primarily ‘crayfish plague’, a fungal pathogen, carried by the invasive American signal crayfish, which is fatal to white-clawed crayfish within days of exposure. Habitat degradation, pollution and changes to water quality have also contributed to the species' decline. In Devon, white-clawed crayfish are restricted to just two native crayfish populations on the Rivers Creedy/Yeo and Culm. Non-native signal crayfish are present on both river systems and therefore both white-clawed populations are threatened with extinction within 5-10 years without intervention. The Devon Crayfish Ark Project is a collaboration between the Wild Planet Trust (based at Paignton Zoo), Environment Agency, Nicky Green Associates, the Blackdown Hills AONB (focussing on the River Culm) and Bristol Zoological Gardens. The aim of the project is to safeguard white-clawed crayfish populations in Devon through the establishment of ark sites. This follows a highly successful community based project in the River Culm catchment. See https://blackdownhillsaonb.org.uk/project/culm-community-crayfish/ The group are producing the Devon Crayfish Action Plan which outlines the actions required to safeguard Devon’s crayfish populations (draft available on request). Work has already started on some elements of the Action Plan, including surveys and initial ark site investigations in the Culm catchment and the setting up of a white-clawed crayfish hatchery at Paignton Zoo.

  • Statement in Support of Sustainable Palm Oil the Conservation
    Statement in support of Sustainable Palm Oil The conservation organisations listed below are committed to driving the palm oil industry in the right direction, and support a move to sustainable palm oil and not a blanket boycott. Palm oil produced according to the standards set by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) or Palm Oil Innovation Group (POIG), as of 2018, is required to be deforestation-free. Manufacturers, retailers and traders all over the world have made bold commitments to removing deforestation from their supply chains - some are making swifter progress than others towards meeting these commitments. There are no quick fixes, but the following actions will go a long way to cleaning up the palm oil industry: ● Palm oil producers must stop converting forests, peatlands and other sensitive natural habitats to oil palm plantations. Instead, they should increase yields on existing plantations, and any expansion should be restricted to degraded land that is not classified as High Conservation Value or High Carbon Stock. They also need to be transparent about their production methods and avoid labour, land and human rights violations. ● Companies manufacturing or selling products made with palm oil and its derivatives need to investigate their suppliers and only source palm oil from responsible growers, ensuring their supply chain is traceable, and communicating honestly with their customers about their progress on their journey to using solely sustainable palm oil. ● We expect the RSPO and its members to adhere to the criteria and take action when there is evidence of non-compliance. ● Consumers can support retailers and manufacturers which are committed to removing deforestation from their products, join social media campaigns to drive the industry in the right direction, and support conservation organisations who are working to break the link between palm oil and deforestation.

    Covid-19 updates from the BIAZA Office BIAZA Office staff are working from home until further notice. If you need to contact a member of staff, please do so via their email address (which you can find here: https://biaza.org.uk/biaza- office) or via [email protected]. If you have an urgent concern you can contact Nicky (07593580591) COVID-19 Member Update – 10/05/21 Dear Members, There are a number of significant updates, in particular with relation to our members in England. Animal Welfare Strategy This week we are expecting significant announcements from the Government regarding animal welfare and, to a lesser extent, conservation. Today BIAZA met with Lord Goldsmith, the zoos minister, and many other leading animal welfare organisations to discuss the new strategy. Over the weekend, Born Free and a coalition of 50 organisations published their own thoughts on what the strategy should look like which can be read here. Some of the Government’s plans to recognise animal sentience have also been trailed in the media. BIAZA has fed into the announcements on a number of specific points and we will endeavour to share our thoughts with you when we are able to. 17 May confirmed for indoor areas in England In welcome news, the UK Government has confirmed that from the 17 of May indoor visitor attractions can open including aquariums, tropical houses and indoor areas within zoos and safari parks. BIAZA would like to remind members of its guidance for operating during the pandemic. We are also hoping to support reopening with a coordinated social media push on 14 May, get in touch for more details.

    Cover: Thao Whipping Frogs Eleanor Stobbart Paignton Zoo 20 20ANNUAL REPORT With the effects of the pandemic having wide-reaching impact through the BIAZA community, Fordingbridge have assisted wherever possible. Last April, we launched our “Home Learning Page”; a free tool specifically for BIAZA members to promote their Education and Zoo-To-You marketing opportunities to a country of children learning from home. We promoted this through our social media channels, company website and directly through our network of the thousands of schools we work with for canopy installations across the UK. We did this to drive engagement for your organisations and assist in your fundraising efforts. We would hope that many of these virtual-learners and teachers have now become physical visitors upon reopening. Fordingbridge can also help drive revenue; using our in-house design team to manufacture and install canopies for covered dining/viewing areas to negate ‘rainy day’ ticket slumps, and create statement, sustainable buildings to enhance animal welfare and visitor experience. Like you, we are passionate about what we do, striving to exceed client expectations and deliver beyond the brief. We would love to work in partnership with your attraction to provide an exciting addition for your visitors throughout the year. E: [email protected] . T: 01243 554455 .
