Change in the Uses of Urban Public Spaces by Cairo People (With a Special Focus on Public Gardens)

Beginning with the reign of Muhammad Ali and continuing under khedive Ismail, a Haussmannian model of urbanization and gentrification prevailed. Until the 1960s and 1970s, these modernized urban spaces (found primarily in the new downtown area) can be defined as the location of a bourgeois public. In Wast el-Balad (downtown) Haussmannian architecture was a key site for the articulation of new “modern” spatial prac- tices, identities, and sociabilities. This new downtown was to provide a kind of display win- dow of Egyptian modernity. Since the 1970s the meanings, uses, and publics associated with modernist urban space have undergone a radical inversion. -
Oxytocin to the Rescue? a New Approach Being Tested by Jessica Burkhart Could Relieve Social Stress for Captive Lions and Aid in Future Conservation

Public Perceptions of Behavioral Enrichment: Assumptions Gone Awry
Zoo Biology 17:525–534 (1998) Public Perceptions of Behavioral Enrichment: Assumptions Gone Awry M.E. McPhee,1* J.S. Foster,2 M. Sevenich,3 and C.D. Saunders4 1University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 2Seneca Zoo Society, Rochester, New York 3Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Lake Buena Vista, Florida 4Brookfield Zoo, Brookfield, Illinois More and more, zoos are integrating behavioral enrichment programs into their management routines. Given the newness of such programs on an official level, however, there are an increasing number of enrichment decisions based on as- sumption. Enrichment is typically not provided on exhibit, especially for exhib- its considered to be more naturalistic, because it is assumed to affect visitors’ experience negatively. To test that assumption, visitors were interviewed in front of four exhibits—an outdoor barren grotto, an outdoor vegetated grotto, an in- door immersion exhibit, and an outdoor traditional cage—each with either natu- ral, nonnatural or no enrichment objects present. Specifically, we wanted to know whether 1) the exhibit’s perceived educational message, 2) the animal’s per- ceived “happiness,” and 3) the visitor perceptions of enrichment, the naturalism of animal’s behavior, and zoo animal well-being changed as a function of object type. Overall, the type of enrichment object had little impact on visi- tor perceptions. In the outdoor barren grotto, only visitor perceptions of ex- hibit naturalism were affected by object type. In the outdoor vegetated grotto, object type influenced visitors perceptions of enrichment and exhibit natu- ralism. For the indoor immersion exhibit, general perceptions of enrichment and the perceived naturalism of the animal’s behavior were affected. -
Cop15 Doc. 24 CONVENTION on INTERNATIONAL TRADE
CoP15 Doc. 24 CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA ____________________ Fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties Doha (Qatar), 13-25 March 2010 Interpretation and implementation of the Convention Compliance and enforcement ENFORCEMENT MATTERS 1. This document has been prepared by the Secretariat. 2. As required in Resolution Conf. 11.3 (Rev. CoP14) (Compliance and enforcement), the Standing Committee reviewed this subject at its 57th and 58th meetings (Geneva, July 2008 and July 2009) (see documents SC57 Doc. 20 and SC58 Doc. 23). Egypt 3. The Standing Committee, at its 57th and 58th meetings, considered reports from the Secretariat in relation to Egypt’s implementation of recommendations that had been made after a mission to the country in November 2007. The report of the mission had been presented to the Committee in document SC57 Doc. 20 Annex. At its 58th meeting, the Committee expressed concern regarding the time being taken to fully implement the recommendations and it requested Egypt to submit a report on this matter for consideration by the Conference of the Parties at the present meeting. 4. The Committee’s decision was communicated to Egypt by the Secretariat, which also suggested that a mission to Egypt to assess and verify implementation prior to CoP15 might be appropriate. Egypt has undertaken to submit such a report and has indicated its willingness to receive a mission by the Secretariat. Egypt’s report will be annexed to this document in due course and the Secretariat will report further orally at CoP15 on this issue. -
