Zoo conservation programmes

WE'RE ON A MISSION We need nature, and nature needs us to take action The bounty of nature isn’t reserved to protected parks or wildlife TV specials. It’s connected to us every day in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the climate that shapes our food sources. We need nature, and nature needs us to take action. Quite simply, humans are depleting resources faster than nature can replace them under the pressure of today’s 7 billion people. To build a sustainable future for our children, we need to allow for human development while finding smarter ways to manage our biodiversity, food production, habitats and water resources. Conserving animals is at the heart of the solution. We must protect their diversity, abundances and the ecological services they provide by slowing the unnaturally high rates of species extinction. Our own well-being is inextricably linked to the well-being of wildlife and wild places. The time to act is now. Field ProgramS Woodland Park Zoo’s conservation model involves partnerships with state agencies, national governments, other conservation organizations, and indigenous people and local communities. Together, we work to successfully protect some of the last great wild landscapes and some of the world’s most iconic wildlife, from lions and African elephants in Tanzania to tigers in Malaysia and gorillas in the Congo rainforest. Our conservation successes include tens of thousands of square kilometers of wild lands formally protected, and wildl...

Nabila comes from a background in biosciences and natural resource management and has worked on community-based resource mapping and conservation projects in the Himalayan regions of India and Nepal. She also worked as a business analyst with the International Species Information System (now called the conservation mission of zoos. History and Evolution of Zoos in a nutshell ? This fascination for observing wild animals in captivity goes way back in time. Evidence of private menageries owned by ancient Egyptian kings and aristocrats Zoos and Conservation ? A study by Patricia et al., 2007 states that conservation and education are key elements in the mission statements of zoos. A survey conducted by (Fraser and Stickler 2008). Most zoos mention conservation and education in their mission statements suggesting that these are rather important aspects of zoo culture. So how do zoos help conservation? Zoos primarily deal with three aspects of conservation – practice, advocacy and research. Conservation practice entails captive breeding, species reintroduction programs, Species survival plans and the use of zoo revenue for conservation programs in the wild. Conservation advocacy includes public engagement, promoting awareness, advocating stewardship, and fundraising events and schemes – a good example of which is the ‘Adopt an Animal’ scheme at most modern zoos. Moreover, conservation research is conducted on wildlife biology, population dynamics, animal behaviour, health and w...

Cambridge 1 Academic Reading Test 1 – Passage 02: Zoo conservation programmes with answers location and pdf summary. This reading paragraph has been taken from our huge collection of Academic& General Training (GT) Reading practice test PDF’s. IELTS reading module focuses on evaluating a candidate’s comprehension skills and ability to understand English.

You must read the passage carefully and try to answer all questions correctly. PDF Zoo conservation programmes One of London Zoo’s new notices caused me some bothering, so evidently did it contort reality. Featured “Without zoos you should advise these creatures to get stuffed”, it was lined with representations of a few imperiled animal varieties and proceeded to praise the legend that without zoos like London Zoo these animals “will in all likelihood vanish until the end of time”. With the zoo world’s somewhat average record on protection, one may be excused for being marginally incredulous with regards to such a commercial. Zoos were or...

Huge milestone in the conservation of the critically endangered Scottish wildcat: the FIRST captive-bred individuals have been released into the Cairngorms National Park. The 22 released wildcats were fitted with GPS radio collars, so they can be monitored in their new environment. Behind this achievement is the Saving Wildcats partnership, led by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland. The Oregon Zoo and partners have released nine northwestern pond turtles into the wild, at the Columbia River Gorge. Under the head-start programme for this locally threatened species, newly hatched turtles are collected from the wild and looked after at the zoo for up to a year, until they have grown to a size that reduces their vulnerability to predators. The first global assessment of the addax's genetic diversity was undertaken by the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS), in collaboration with multiple partners. The genetic diversity of the remaining wild population, as well as of the reintroduced and captive populations, were all assessed, with the former showing greater diversity! These valuable findings will help inform conservation efforts for this critically endangered species. Over 5,000 threatened Partula snails, bred at London Zoo, Whipsnade Zoo, Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, and Saint Louis Zoo, were reintroduced into the islands of Moorea and Tahiti (French Polynesia). Several Partula species were wiped out from their natural habitat in the 1980s and early 199...

The North Carolina Zoo is devoted to protecting our natural world each and every day. The Zoo has been involved in the conservation of wildlife for more than two decades. We have worked to preserve a variety of species. From vultures and gorillas in Africa, to endangered plants and amphibians in our own state. A modest conservation project, focused on one country in Africa, has grown into a leading zoo-based program. Our staff are active in conserving wildlife and their habitats across the world. We work in eight different African countries, the Caribbean, the Mariana Islands in the Western Pacific, and across North Carolina. Through partnership and collaboration with more than 90 partners, we have been able to help save animals from extinction. The Zoo has maximized its wildlife conservation impact in over 20 countries. Because conservation challenges can’t be solved overnight, we purposely make significant, long term, strategic commitments to the projects we undertake.
