Es gibt Chinesen, Malaien und Inder. Sie haben ihre jeweiligen offiziellen Feiertage und sie haben ihre historischen Wohngegenden, die „eth- nischen Viertel“. Diese kulturellen Merkmale sind wohl den meisten Besuchern und Expatriates bekannt. Über- sehen wird dabei oft, dass die drei offiziellen ethnischen Gruppen keineswegs so homogen sind, wie die Klas- sifizierung es nahelegt. Die Chinesen unterteilen sich in mehrere Dialektgruppen und religiöse Zugehörigkeiten. Das gleiche gilt für die Inder; sie umfassen zahlreiche Sprachgruppen und religiöse Hintergründe. Und auch die Malaien sind keineswegs eine einheitliche Gruppe – zumindest nicht in historischer Perspektive. Heute um- fassen die „Malaien“ seinerzeit eigenständige Gruppen Abenstimmung in der Arab Street. wie zum Beispiel Orang Laut, Minangkabau, Malaien, Javanesen, Bugis, Boyanesen und Araber. Ja, sogar Araber! Insbesondere die Vermischung der ehemals lebendigen arabischen Kultur im Lande mit der malaiischen Kultur löst heutzutage bei jungen Arabern zunehmend eine Suche nach ihren eigenen kulturellen Wurzeln aus. Hannah Kunrath hat sich für Impulse auf die Suche begeben und die alten sowie die neuen Spuren der arabischen Kultur in Singapur aufgezeichnet. Ihr Ausgangspunkt: natürlich die Arab Street! Dass nach Singapur viele gekommen sind und ihre Spuren hinterlassen haben, ist klar. Dass andererseits Emigrie- rende aus diesem Teil der Erde in die Welt hinausgezogen sind und dort einen singapurischen „Stempel“ aufgedrückt haben, ist wohl eher unwahrscheinlich, oder? Gibt es da nicht vielleicht doch einen klitzekleinen Stempel? Es gibt Wilde Landschaft in Nord-Ontarios, Kanada. ihn! Er ist genau 6 x 6 Meilen groß und befindet sich im kanadischen Ontario, weitab von jeglicher urbanen Zivilisation. Aber mehr wird jetzt nicht verraten. Erfahren Sie mehr darüber im faszinierenden Beitrag „Auf Pirsch nach Elch und Bär in Singapore“ von Roland Hanewald. Nun bietet der Inselstaat Singapur heute keine Gelegen- heit mehr zur Pirsch. Der letzte Tiger wurde hier in Choa Chu Kang in den 1930er Jahren erlegt. Abgesehen von einem Besuch im Zoo, der gerade erst den beliebten Orang Utan Ah Meng verloren hat, ist ein Kontakt mit großen Tieren in Singapur wohl nur noch beim Reiten zu erfahren. Pferde beißen auch nicht – oder zumindest sehr selten, wie ich selber früher erfahren durfte – und Reiten ist ein Spaß für Jung und Alt. Nicole Wittkopf stellt Ihnen in ihrem Beitrag die diversen Reitmöglichkeiten in Singapur vor, unter Reiten ist ein Sport für die ganze Familie. anderem Horsecity, das neue 2,5 Millionen Dollar teure Projekt auf dem Gelände des Singapur Turf Clubs an der Turf Club Road. Für Anfänger ist Reiten allemal ein spannendes Abenteuer, denn bekanntlich liegt ja das Glück der Erde auf dem Rücken der Pferde.

The giant pandas will be housed in River Safari. • Construction of River Safari, the fourth attraction of WRS and Asia’s first freshwater- themed wildlife attraction got underway. • Night Safari won the Best Visitor Attraction Award, adding to a total of 19 for WRS, out of 21 awards given out by STB for the best in the leisure attraction category. • A tour agency named ‘Wildlife Travel & Tours’ was set up in September 09 to provide one-stop leisure attraction offerings to tourists. • Hollywood Dinos, a travelling exhibition that employs animatronics to showcase life-size dinosaurs, was held at Jurong Bird Park from 12 December 2009 to 18 February 2010.

  • Enrichment: What Is It and Why Should You Want It? Steve Martin Natural Encounters, Inc. 9014 Thompson Nursery Road Lake Wales, Florida 33853 USA
    Enrichment: What Is It And Why Should You Want It? Steve Martin Natural Encounters, Inc. 9014 Thompson Nursery Road Lake Wales, Florida 33853 USA Presented: World Zoo Conference, Pretoria, South Africa, Oct. 1999 INTRODUCTION When we put an animal in captivity, no matter how beautiful and naturalistic the environment, we take away some of the most important aspects of that animal’s being. We limit the opportunity for the animal to use its senses and adaptations to “earn” a living by taking control of almost every facet of that animal’s life. Central aspects including what, when, and where to eat and sleep, with whom to socialize, even with whom and when to mate are often planned by curators, architects, behaviorists, geneticists, nutritionists, and veterinarians who work hard to provide them with the best of everything possible. Sometimes that means large quantities of the ideal food presented on the same stainless steel tray, by the same person, at the same time, in the same place every day. Life in captivity has the potential to be extremely predictable and therefore pretty boring for some animals. Enrichment was created to address this animal welfare issue. This paper will explore the concept of enrichment and it’s many positive functions and effects in a zoological setting. WHAT IS ENRICHMENT? Robert Yerkes introduced the concept of enrichment in the 1920’s and animal keepers have probably been doing it all along (Mellen and Sevenich, 1999, ). However it is only recently that enrichment has been elevated to buzz- word status and practiced so purposefully at so many zoos around the world.
