We were struck by their enthusiasm and expertise and also humbled by remembering that their road to conservation work is not straightforward, as their opportunity to attend high-end educational establishments is more limited and often means travelling overseas to access the teaching they need and want.

The office conducted interviews with outlets including CNN and BBC, and produced detailed information regarding EEPs, Collection Planning and other relevant topics. In addition to press statements published on the website and distributed to media, editorial pieces were also commissioned by CNN.com and other outlets, providing a strong platform for EAZA to react to traditional and social media opinion. EAZA also succeeded in persuading a major national UK newspaper to retract AB Aqua Medic GmbH (www.aqua-medic.de) its incorrect story about the suggested culling of a second giraffe at a non-member zoo AQUA-TEKNIK A/S (www.aqua-teknik.com) in Denmark.

  • EPIDEMIOLOGY of SELECTED INFECTIOUS DISEASES in ZOO-UNGULATES: SINGLE SPECIES VERSUS MIXED SPECIES EXHIBITS Carolina Probst
    EPIDEMIOLOGY OF SELECTED INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN ZOO-UNGULATES: SINGLE SPECIES VERSUS MIXED SPECIES EXHIBITS Carolina Probst, DVM,* Heribert Hofer, MSc, PhD, Stephanie Speck, DVM, PhD, and Kai Frölich, DVM, PhD1 Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research, Alfred-Kowalke Strasse 17, 10315 Berlin, Germany Reprinted with permission. American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 2005. Joint Annual Conference. Abstract The study analyses the epidemiology of selected infectious diseases of 65 different species within the four families of bovids, cervids, camelids and equids in one czech and nine German zoos. It is based on a survey of all epidemiologic data since 1998. Furthermore 900 blood samples taken between 1998 and 2005 are screened for the presence of antibodies against selected viral and bacterial pathogens. The results are linked to the epidemiologic data. Introduction The concept of mixed species exhibits increasingly becomes important in European zoos. It is an important form of behavioral enrichment, it optimizes the use of space and it is of great educational value for visitors, giving them an impression of ecological connections. But until now it has not been elucidated whether the kind of exhibit may lead to an increase in the prevalence of specific infections. The aims of this study are to evaluate the exposure of zoo-ungulates to a variety of disease pathogens that can be transmitted between different species and to assess the epidemiology of mixed exhibits. We are interested in the following questions: 1. Which selected infectious agents are zoo ungulates exposed to? 2. What is the seroprevalence against these agents? 3. Is there a correlation between seroprevalence and the following factors: - animal exhibition system (single species / mixed species exhibit) - population density and animal movements - interspecific contact rates 4.

  • Vereinsinformation Veranstaltungskalender Wilhelma-Treff Tagesfahrt Neues Aus Der Geschäftsstelle 2021 Liebe Mitglieder Des Fördervereins
    Vereinsinformation Veranstaltungskalender Wilhelma-Treff Tagesfahrt Neues aus der Geschäftsstelle 2021 Liebe Mitglieder des Fördervereins, das denkwürdige Jahr 2020 hat unseren Blick geschärft für das, was uns alle verbindet. Ganz nach- drücklich zeigen die Entwicklungen der Pandemie – aber auch deren Folgen für die vernetzte Welt- wirtschaft und die internationalen Beziehungen – wie eng verwoben die globalen Zusammenhänge sind. Deshalb dürfen wir uns gerade in einer Zeit, die uns in so vielerlei Hinsicht einschränkt, nicht aufhalten lassen, unsere Vielfalt rund um die Erde zu schützen und die Zukunft gemeinsam zu gestal- ten: mit Unterstützung für Artenschutzprogramme weltweit, aber auch dem Einsatz für den Erhalt der Biodiversität hier bei uns. So durfte der Betrieb der Wilhelma trotz der achtwöchi- gen Schließung keinen Tag ruhen. Die seltenen Tiere und exotischen Pflanzen galt es zu hegen und zu pflegen. Wenn das Leben weitergeht, ergeben sich auch schöne Ereignis- se. Hinter verschlossenen Toren kam im Frühjahr äußerst seltener und daher sehr wertvoller Nachwuchs bei den Okapis, Bonobos und Poitou-Eseln zur Welt. Später folgten zwei Kälber bei den in der Natur bereits ausgestorbenen Säbelantilopen. Liboso mit Sohn Kenai Solange keine Gäste in den Park durften, machten die Bauarbeiter aus der Not eine Tugend und brachten Wegesanierungen schneller voran, als das mit Publikumsverkehr möglich gewesen wäre. Und als im Mai die Wilhelma wieder öffnen durfte, konnten Mädchen und Jungen staunen, dass der neue Hauptspielplatz mit Regenwald-Motto in aller Stille fertig geworden war. Entsprechend der langen Tradition des Zoologischen-Bota- nischen Gartens ist es wieder gelungen, unseren Freundin- nen und Freunden etwas für die Wilhelma komplett Neues zu bieten.

  • Wilhelma Bei Schmuddelwetter Tour
    Wilhelma bei Schmuddelwetter Tour Endlich ein freier Tag, die Kinder stehen bereits drängelnd an der Tür, der Herd ist aus und die Katzen sind versorgt – kurzum: Sie haben sich auf Ihren schon lange ge- planten Wilhelmabesuch gefreut und es kann eigentlich losgehen. Doch ausgerechnet jetzt spielt das Wetter nicht mehr mit, sondern verrückt! Sintflutartiger Regen? Taube- neigroße Hagelkörner? Schneesturm? Kein Grund zur Panik: Die Schmuddelwetter-Tour knüpft die kürzesten Wege zwischen den überdachten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Wilhel- ma – auf dass Sie trotz miesem Klima möglichst trocken und warm von Attraktion zu Attraktion gelangen. Wegpunkt 1 Die Gewächshäuser In den historischen Gewächshäusern können Sie vielfältige Wunderwerke der Pflan- zenwelt entdecken. Nach unterschiedlichen klimatischen Ansprüchen geordnet finden Sie unter anderem Kakteen, Bromelien, Orchideen und zahlreiche andere tropische und subtropische Pflanzen. Viele der tropischen Gewächse blühen unabhängig von der jeweiligen Jahreszeit draußen: So lässt sich selbst mitten im deutschen Winter vom Urlaub im Süden träumen. Je nach Saison erleben Sie hier die Hochblüte der Azaleen, Fuchsien oder Kamelien. Etwa in der Mitte der Gewächshausreihe liegt zudem der schöne Wintergarten mit Palmen, Bananen, saisonal wechselnden Blütenpflanzen und dem Koi-Teich. Von hier aus gelangen Sie auch ins angrenzende Kleinsäuger- und Vogelhaus, in denen Sie Faultieren, Chinchillas und Kurzohrrüsselspringern ebenso begegnen wie zahlreichen bunten und exotischen Vogelarten. © Wilhelma Zoologisch-Botanischer Garten Wilhelma 13 | 70376 Stuttgart | Tel.: 07 11.54 02-0 | Fax: 07 11.54 02-222 | [email protected] | www.wilhelma.de Wegpunkt 2 Das Aquarium Durch den Maurischen Wandelgang erreichen Sie trockenen Fußes das 1967 eingeweih- te Aquarienhaus.

  • UK-First-Breeding-Register.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION TO EDITION The original author and compiler of this record, Dave Coles has devoted a great deal of his time in creating a unique reference document which I am privileged to continue working with. By its very nature the document in a living project which will continue to grow and evolve and I can only hope and wish that I have the dedication as Dave has had in ensuring the continuity of the “First Breeding Register”. Initially all my additions and edits will be indicated in italics though this will not be used in the main body of the record (when a new record is added). Simon Matthews (2011) It is over eighty years since Emilius Hopkinson collated his RECORDS OF BIRDS BRED IN CAPTIVITY, which formed the starting point for my attempt at recording first breeding records for the UK. Since the first edition of my records was published in 1986, classification has changed several times and the present edition incorporates this up-dated classification as well as first breeding recorded since then. The research needed to produce the original volume took many years to complete and covered most avicultural literature. Since that time numerous people have kept me abreast of further breedings and pointing out those that have slipped the net. This has hopefully enabled the records to be kept up-to- date. To those I would express my thanks as indeed I do to all that have cast their eyes over the new list and passed comments, especially the ever helpful Reuben Girling who continues to pass on enquiries.
