This thought-provoking book summarizes the latest research concerning the impacts on HAIs in zoos, including the effects of visitors on animals and the effects of animals, exhibits, and the place itself on visitors.

Zoos are important and popular tourist attractions. Spread around the world, they are typically located in major cities, with visitation levels comparable to other major attractions. Nature-based attractions constructed in artificial settings, they face the challenge of trying to balance potentially conflicting aims of conservation, education and entertainment. The best are continually developing fresh and effective techniques on visitor interpretation and management, the worst highlight the manipulation of animals for human gratification. Taking a global approach, this book examines the problems and paradoxes of zoos as they try to balance their roles as visitor attractions while repositioning themselves as leading conservation agencies.
Tour the zoos and aquarium that came to be featured favorites in New York tourism and recreation. Situated within the five boroughs of New York City are five zoos and one aquarium. New York City Zoos and Aquarium chronicles the establishment of the Central Park Zoo, the Bronx Zoo, the Prospect Park Zoo, the Queens Zoo, the Staten Island Zoo, and the New York Aquarium. Popular children's zoos are also featured. The city's first zoo opened in Central Park in the 1850s, while the newest zoo opened in Queens after the 1964 World's Fair. While each one of these facilities has many similarities, they all have their own unique attributes. All of the facilities are focused on education, conservation, and the care of the animals that now reside in natural habitats.
Using first-person stories and approachable scientific reviews, this volume explores how zoos conduct and support science around the world.

The Japanese serow (Capricornis crispus) has been protected by law since 1955 in Japan, because it was becoming rarer and approaching extinction. Thereafter, the serow population has increased gradually. The Japanese serow is thought to be a primitive relict species on the islands of Japan, and the geographical range of the serow has retracted upwards into the moun tain forests to avoid contact with humans. Little was therefore known about these animals. However, increasing losses of forest habitat due to exploit ation of the mountain forests or expanding cultivation by local foresters have driven the Japanese serow back into the lowlands of Japan. Since then, complaints of damage to trees and other vegetation have accumulated against the serow. In some prefectures the shooting of Japanese serow was allowed in order to prevent damage to forests. The animals killed were taken for research by the Departments of the Environment and by universities. was set up at the summit of Mt. Gozaisho, The Japan Serow Center Komono-cho, Mie Prefecture, in 1962 and has made a great effort to breed the serow and its related species in captivity.

Ce roman est un voyage dans le temps, une promenade extraordinaire dans le zoo de Rome bâti au début du XXe siècle au beau milieu de l’Antique. En découvrant l’évolution de ce parc et de ses pensionnaires, c’est toute l’histoire de l’Italie de 1911 à nos jours que l’on revisite. Avec pour compagnons, parmi les passionnants témoins de ce siècle : un marchand d’animaux, un architecte presque fou mais tout à fait génial, une jeune directrice de la communication, un vétérinaire sans scrupules, un flâneur missionné par un pays lointain, un gardien triste et un tamanoir devenu soudain la star des lieux. Sans oublier Mussolini, le pape et même Salman Rushdie.
Le Bioparc de Doué la Fontaine a été créé par Louis Gay en 1961. Il est aujourd'hui dirigé par Pierre et François Gay, fils et petit-fils du fondateur. La philosophie du parc s'articule autour de quatre missions : plonger les visiteurs dans des ambiances évocatrices des milieux d'origine des animaux et susciter de l'émotion, premier pas vers la sensibilisation ; présenter des espèces ambassadrices des milieux sauvages menacés ; s'inverstir aux côtés d'associations locales dédiées à la conservation d'espèces menacées ; transmettre les valeurs de partage et de respect au travers d'un espace d'échanges et de sensibilisation. La méthode utilisée, en jouant sur différentes sortes d'approches (scientifique, ludique, sensorielle et artistique), a ceci de particulier qu'elle cherche à conjuguer émotion du public et respect de la vie sauvage, en espérant que les visiteurs repartiront davantage conscients de leur capacité individuelle à agir pour préserver l'environnement... Le parc a fait le choix de présenter des espèces rares et menacées, ou appartenant à des milieux fragilisés, pour témoigner des difficultés de leur survie à l'état sauvage.

"Tracing the story of Red Lodge from the 1880s to the present, Christensen tells how a mining town managed to endure the vagaries of the West's unpredictable extractive-industries economy. She connects Red Lodge to a myriad of larger events and historical forces to show how national and regional influences have contributed to the development of local identities, exploring how and why westerners first rejected and then embraced "western" images, and how ethnicity, wilderness, and historic preservation became part of the identity that defined one town."--BOOK JACKET.
