Photo: Eva Stööp 2 Nordens Ark Nordens Ark lies on Åby manor beside the Åby fjord, 20 km from Smögen and Kungshamn on route 171, about 120 km north of Gothenburg. The manor was mentioned as early as the 1300s, but rock carvings and ancient remains show that the farm has roots much further back. The present buildings date mainly from the 1700s and 1800s. Nordens Ark Foundation is a non-profit founda- tion which is responsible for Nordens Ark. Nordens Ark Foundation owns Åby manor, which covers 400 hectares. Through its activities, Nordens Ark Founda- tion seeks to promote biological diversity principally by: ● Contributing to the conservation of endangered species by controlled breeding, and supporting wild animal populations in their natural habitats through various support measures. ● Conducting research and studies of the animals at the park, contributing to an increased understanding of animals and promoting animal survival in the wild. ● Acting as an educational resource at all levels from pre-school to colleges and universities. ● Being accessible to the public, thereby increasing public interest in and knowledge of conservation work. 3 The Animal Collection Emma Nygren1) , Karin Larsson, Leif Blomqvist & Ewa Wikberg [email protected] Amphibians and birds Among the birds, it’s worth noting that both of Nordens Ark’s crane species – the white-naped crane Grus vipio and Japanese During 2014, Nordens Ark joined yet another conservation crane Grus japonensis – hatched, and that last year’s offspring project for an endangered amphibian species.

  • Considerable Investment and Immense Expansion During the 1900S Laid the Foundation for Transforming the Port of Gothenburg Into Today’S International Maritime Hub
    400 YEARS OF EXPERIENCES, IDEAS, ADVENTURES AND SUCCESSES. When work started on building the Stora Hamnkanalen canal at Brunnsparken in 1620 nobody could foresee that this was the start of what would be Scandinavia’s largest port. Ever since then, the Port of Gothenburg has played a central role and served as the strong link in Sweden’s contacts and trade with the rest of the world. It was from here that the Swedish East India Company through its voyages to Asia transformed Gothenburg into northern Europe’s prime commercial centre in the 18th century. It was from here that hundreds of thousands of Swedes emigrated to the USA in the 19th century. And it was here that huge investments and vast expansion in the 20th century laid the foundation for what has made the Port of Gothenburg into today’s top player among international ports. For 400 years the Port of Gothenburg has served as Sweden’s gateway to the world. Now we’re looking ahead with our sights firmly set on becoming the world’s most competitive port – to guarantee Swedish trade and industry global access for at least the next 400 years. Elvir Dzanic, CEO, Gothenburg Port Authority 7 GUSTAV II ADOLF In October 1619 King Gustav II Adolf issued a decree regarding the first “order for construction assistance” for the port. It was the starting-point for the Port of Gothenburg. STORA HAMNKANALEN Gothenburg’s first purpose-built canal was Stora Hamnkanalen, built in the 1620s. THE PORT OF GOTHENBURG IS OLDER THAN THE CITY OF GOTHENBURG.

Säteriet är omnämnt redan på 1300-talet, men hällristningar och fornlämningar visar att gården har anor från långt tillbaka i tiden. Den nuvarande bebyggelsen är i huvudsak från 1700- och 1800-talen. Stiftelsen Nordens Ark är en privat ideell stiftelse som är huvudman för Nordens Ark. Stiftelsen Nordens Ark är ägare till Åby säteri som omfattar 400 hektar. Stiftelsen Nordens Ark främjar den biologiska mångfalden främst genom att: •• under kontrollerad avelsverksamhet bidra till att rädda hotade arter och genom olika stödåtgärder i naturen stärka vilda faunapopulationer i deras naturliga miljöer, •• bedriva forskning och studier av djuren på anläggningen, bidra till en ökad djurkunskap samt befrämja deras överlevnadsmöjligheter i naturen, •• verka som en utbildningsresurs på alla nivåer från förskola till högskolor och universitet, Nordens Ark har under 25 år klokt •• vara tillgänglig för publik och genom detta öka allmänhetens och målmedvetet verkat för djurens intresse och kunskaper för naturvårdsarbete. bästa och nått beundransvärda ”resultat.

  • Djurrättsalliansen Har Inte Kunnat Granska Ölands Djurpark
    2020-04-23 09:12 CEST Djurrättsalliansen har inte kunnat granska Ölands djurpark Tidigare i veckan presenterade organisationen Djurrättsalliansen en granskning av tio av landets större djurpark som visar att 2 565 djur dött på de granskade djurparkerna under 2017-2019. Tanken var även att Ölands djurpark skulle ingå i granskningen, men då de inte har uppgett hur många djur som dött eller avlivats i de listor som årligen skickas in till länsstyrelsen har Djurrättsalliansen inte kunnat granska detta. Djurrättsalliansen har flera gånger tagit kontakt med Ölands djurpark och försökt få del av den informationen, utan att få svar. Ölands djurpark har tidigare fått kritik för stora brister i djurhållningen efter en granskning gjord av P4 Kalmar och Smålandsnytt år 2012. Då avlivades friska utrotningshotade tigrar. Många av de andra djuren hade för trånga utrymmen och fick inte tillräckligt med mat. Dessutom ska djuren ha avlivats på ett felaktigt sätt, ibland med en klubba eller kniv för att på så sätt spara in på veterinärkostnaderna. – Vi tycker det är anmärkningsvärt att Ölands djurpark inte redovisar hur många djur som dött på djurparken under de senaste åren, speciellt med tanke på deras förflutna. Vi frågar oss varför det inte finns någon transparens kring hur många djur som dödas så allmänheten kan göra medvetna val, säger Daniel Rolke, ordförande för Djurrättsalliansen. På andra djurparker som granskats så har det bekräftats att utrotningshotade djurarter eller friska djur som till exempel addaxantilopen, kattugglor, lejon, lokatter, vargar, björnar, järvar, rävar, gulbröstad kapuchin och makaker avlivats på de olika djurparkerna. En del av dem är så kallade överskottsdjur som det inte längre finns utrymme för.

  • Ex Situ Bevarande En Studie Av Djurparkers Arbete För Att Bevara Biologisk Mångfald Och Turismens Förutsättningar För Det Arbetet
    Kandidatuppsats Ex situ bevarande En studie av djurparkers arbete för att bevara biologisk mångfald och turismens förutsättningar för det arbetet Författare: Åsa Augustsson Handledare: Christer Foghagen Examinator: Hans Wessblad Termin: HT17 Ämne: Turismvetenskap III Nivå: Kandidat Kurskod: 2TR42E Tack Jag vill rikta ett stort tack till samtliga respondenter från de djurparker som medverkat i studien och som varit otroligt tillmötesgående med att ställa upp på intervjuer för att besvara mina frågor. Utan er tid och kunskap hade inte den här studien varit möjlig att genomföra på önskat vis. Ert engagemang har underlättat genomförandet av studien och framförallt också gjort processen roligare. Jag vill också rikta ett tack till min handledare Christer Foghagen som under arbetets gång varit tillgänglig för god rådgivning och som bidragit med användbar och värdefull feedback. Till sist vill jag också rikta ett tack till mina nära och kära för stöd och motivation under processen av studiens genomförande. ♥ Åsa Augustsson, 2018-01-07 i Sammanfattning Titel: Ex situ bevarande - En studie av djurparkers arbete för att bevara biologisk mångfald och turismens förutsättningar för det arbetet Författare: Åsa Augustsson Handledare: Christer Foghagen Examinator: Hans Wessblad Kurs: Turismvetenskap III, examensarbete (kandidat) 15 hp, 2TR42E Turismprogrammet, Linneuniversitetet, HT-17. Bakgrund: Medvetenhet om klimatförändringars påverkan som växt i takt med turismens ökade omfattning har utvecklat ett behov för hållbart resande och en ökad förståelse hos människor om mänskliga aktiviteters negativa miljöpåverkan. Som en utveckling av denna medvetenhet om klimatförändringars påverkan till miljöhot och förlust av biologisk mångfald har djurparker som turistattraktioner fått en allt mer betydelsefull roll. Djurparker, med sina samlingar av djur, har goda förutsättningar för att bevara biologisk mångfald.
