Every year an increasing number of students work at
the zoo as volunteers, practitioners, or to make observations for master's
degrees and PhD's. As there is no place in our country where students can get a
formal
education in the management of wild animals in captivity, a need arose to
provide, apart from normal work, a professional training in various aspects of
zoo biology. Therefore we decided to hold for the first time a summer school.
During the intensive six day course from July 7 through July 12 there will be
lectures as
well as guided tours, led by curators, through the zoos. All higher staff of
the zoo will be involved in the training. The lecture topics are varied
and will cover all aspects of animal husbandry, feeding, history and
development of modern zoos, conservation through captive breeding,
reintroduction, record keeping, behavioral enrichment, hand-rearing
techniques, genetics, international cooperation and education, and other
subjects. Additionally, there will be a day-long excursion to the breeding
center for
native threatened species run by Academy of Agriculture.
Over 40 people registered for the summer school in 2003. Students include zoo animal
keepers, students, scientific university staff as well as people simply
interested in wild animal husbandry and zoos in general. We
do hope that in this way we will further strengthen ties with
scientific and conservation community as well as prepare new, better trained
staff for Polish zoos.
