  • Workplace Growing
    Briefing: Workplace growing The workplace growing concept Workplace growing encompasses a wide range of gardening activity on sites where people work. This could be private businesses with spare pieces of land available for growing, public spaces such as universities, hospitals, schools, or prisons or could belong to organisations like churches or village halls. These are places where volunteers, staff, patients, prisoners, parishioners, customers and students can come together and create a vibrant space to grow. Workplace growing is gardening activity supported by the workplace which allows a piece of land on their site to be used to for growing. In an RHS survey 73% of respondents said they considered gardening to be a good way of unwinding from the pressures of work and over half said if they had access to a workplace garden they would use it. Workplace growing often involves the staff who work on the site but then the local community is invited to use the land as well and actively participate in decisions about site design, what will be grown, when people will be on site and how they will all work together effectively. Workplace growing spaces are experiencing a higher profile as the demand for community growing spaces has increased. This is particularly relevant in areas where few open spaces are available to people and where those people want to create a garden, orchard or wildlife area. People have started to look beyond their own gardens, allotments, parks or other open spaces to find additional alternative growing sites. Workplace gardens are starting to look at new ways of using land more effectively in the spaces they work in.

  • Glasgow Zoo: the Hidden Truth
    Glasgow Zoo: the hidden truth A report by Jordi Casamitjana 1 Contents Introduction Press involvement Government involvement Government levels Inspections and Council meetings Non-Governmental Organizations Involvement NGOs ‘conspiracy’? The NGOs Reports Financial state of the zoo Animal Welfare at the zoo Conservation, Education and Research issue Ownership of the animals Federations and Associations Conclusions 2 Glasgow Zoo: the hidden truth Introduction In the last two years Glasgow zoo has received lots of attention; not from the visitors, who are still not reaching the zoo’s desired number to guarantee the minimum revenue the zoo needs to survive, but from the press, animal welfare groups, animal behaviour experts and the government. All this attention is based on one main issue: the standard of the zoo is low, and unless the situation is improved the possibility of closure remains a strong one. How low is this standard is still a matter of debate. Some say that the standard is so low that the zoo should close as soon as possible; others that it may have already crossed the line of illegality; others that improvements can be made; others that it is just an unfortunate situation; others that the whole problem has been exaggerated. The zoo operators, on the other hand, have reacted in various ways to this attention: from denying that problems exist, to giving excuses of why things have gone wrong, and to even using the term ‘conspiracy’ to explain all the ‘fuss’. What is the truth about Glasgow zoo? Is the truth in the open, or is it somehow hidden? What do we know about it? I personally have being investigating Glasgow zoo for quite some time.

  • Appendix: Environmental Enrichment Or Enrichment
    Appendix: Environmental Enrichment or Enrichment This short appendix is not meant to be a comprehensive account of the zoo man- agement technique called either environmental enrichment or, more simply, enrichment. Instead, it aims only at assessing it from the ontological standpoint adopted in this book, namely, that zoo animals are immurated animals, a new type of domesticants in the making. Let us begin by stating what environmental enrichment is through the words of one of the world’s leading experts on the subject: ‘Environmental enrichment is a process for improving or enhancing zoo ani- mal environments and care within the context of their inhabitants’ behav- ioural biology and natural history. It is a dynamic process in which changes to structures and husbandry practices are made with the goal of increasing the behavioural choices available to animals and drawing out their species- appropriate behaviours and abilities, thus enhancing their welfare. As the term implies enrichment typically involves the identification and subsequent addition to the zoo environment of a specific stimulus or characteristic that the occupant/s needs but which was not previously present. (American Zoo & Aquarium Association, 1999)’. In practice, this definition covers a multitude of innovative, imaginative and ingenious techniques, devices and practices aimed at providing adequate social interaction, keeping animals occupied showing an increased range and diversity of behavioural opportunities, and providing more stimulating and responsive environments. Examples range from naturalistic foraging tasks, such as the ubiquitous artificial termite mound, puzzle feeders constructed from PVC pipes, finely chopped and scat- tered food, novel foods and carcasses, to objects that are introduced for manipulation, play and exploration, novelty and sensory stimulation.
