The IUCN World Conservation Congress in Hawaii was To finish, I’d like to make a link between the IUCN attended by more than 10,000 people, who took part in Congress and our own Annual Conference.

Having received a few ‘Why are you here?’ I had that quote very much in my mind during my own and ‘What do zoos have to do with conservation?’ queries opening presentation in Belfast, but not because I felt when I attended the IUCN Regional Forum back in the need to apply it to EAZA Members; in fact, the exact December last year, I was interested to see if this perception opposite. Yet again I was faced with preparing an opening also held true on a global scale. Whilst I concluded there presentation summarising all the work EAZA has carried is still work to be done to raise the profile of what we do, out over the last 12 months and agonising over not being I also came away feeling that much had been done to able to fit everything in. Yes, we are a community where it address the misconception that zoos are not involved in is essential to discuss our current and future activities but, conservation. During the Congress, zoos and aquariums boy, do we also take action! I’m immensely proud of all that were able to demonstrate the variety of conservation work we have achieved in the last 12 months and would like to in which we are involved by taking part in a number of thank every one of you for your continued good work and presentations and workshops.

  • Notitie Bezoekersaantallen Zoo Veldhoven
    Notitie Bezoekersaantallen Zoo Veldhoven 1.1 Aanleiding uitbreiding Zoo Veldhoven Het huidige dierenpark aan de Wintelresedijk 51 | Kleine Vliet in het buitengebied van Veldhoven is verouderd. Modernisering en uitbreiding zijn noodzakelijk voor het behoud van het park. Vernieuwing is zowel noodzakelijk voor het dierenwelzijn als voor behoud van bezoekers, die steeds meer luxe en comfort verwachten. Uitbreiding is noodzakelijk om meer beleving te kunnen bieden en meer bezoekers te trekken. Meer bezoekers zijn nodig om het park rendabel te maken, gelet op de hoge kosten voor dierenopvang en de toegangsprijzen die onder druk staan. Consumenten betalen immers nog zelden de volledige toegangsprijs door diverse kortingsacties. Recreanten willen bovendien in een korte tijd veel zien en doen, dus er moet ook steeds meer te zien en te beleven zijn voor een duurzame instandhouding van een dierentuin. 1.2 Waarom een notitie over bezoekersaantallen ten behoeve van de uitbreiding van Zoo Veldhoven? De uitbreiding van de Zoo is niet mogelijk op basis van het vigerende bestemmingsplan. Daarom wordt een nieuw bestemmingsplan en een MER-beoordeling opgesteld. Vooruitlopend hierop zijn de meest relevante milieu-effecten in beeld gebracht. Omdat het park wil groeien naar 100.000 bezoekers per jaar zijn met name de verkeerseffecten op het omliggende wegennet, de milieu-effecten en externe veiligheid in relatie tot vliegveld Eindhoven Airport relevant. Deze notitie gaat in op het verwachte bezoekersaantal na de beoogde modernisering en uitbreiding dat als basis dient voor verder onderzoek naar bovenstaande milieuaspecten. 1.3 Kenmerken bestaand park Het park ligt aan de Wintelresedijk 51 ! Kleine Vliet in het buitengebied van Veldhoven nabij het vliegveld van Eindhoven en ruim een kilometer ten noordwesten van de bebouwde kom van het dorp Oerle.

  • Free Flight Aviaries in EAZA Zoos
    n ©Jon Coe, 2007 Free flight aviaries in EAZA zoos A pilot study to retrieve information about free flight aviaries in Dutch, Belgian and German EAZA zoos Steven van den Heuvel Kitty Ludwig Free flight aviaries in EAZA zoos A pilot study to retrieve information about free flight aviaries in Dutch, Belgian and German EAZA zoos This report is written in the scope of the EAZA bird TAGs Van Hall Larenstein Leeuwarden, May 2012 Thesis number: 594000 Authors Steven van den Heuvel 890608001 Kitty Ludwig 900906002 Supervisors T. Griede J. van Belle Summary To increase overall knowledge of housing, the experience of individual institutes needs to be shared with other zoos. To coordinate the exchange of knowledge on housing and husbandry between European zoos, the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA), was formed in 1992. EAZA set up Taxon Advisory Groups (TAGs), these groups consist of people with a special expertise in taxonomical related species. Currently, there are 41 TAGs of which 15 TAGs are specialized in bird species. The bird TAGs indicate that EAZA members do not have access to an overview of recommendations regarding optimal housing of different bird species. To increase the exchange of holding birds in these enclosures and encourage zoos to use free-flight aviaries to house birds, this study on aviaries will concentrate on free-flight aviaries and walk-through aviaries. The bird TAGs have the need for a database, which is accessible online for all EAZA zoos and shows the required information about free-flight aviaries. In order to obtain the required information about free-flight aviary design in a structured manner, Cathy King, chair, and Andrea Bracko, vice-chair, of the Ciconiiformes TAG have set up a questionnaire on behalf of the bird TAGs.
