Unsere umfangreichen Recherchen in den letzten 25 Jahren über die Elefantenhaltung in Menschenhand sind die Basis für eine fundierte Kritik an untragbaren Zuständen und unzureichenden Leitlinien seitens des verantwortlichen Bundesministeriums. Zur Situation der Elefantenhaltung in Europa Derzeit leben in europäischen Zoos, Safariparks und Circussen ca. 450 Asiatische und ca. 300 Afrikanische Elefanten - ein Gesamtbestand von ca. 750 Elefanten (Anteil Circus: ca. 250 Tiere). Circus Untragbar sind die Haltungsbedingungen in zahlreichen Circussen, in denen die Elefanten die meiste Zeit des Jahres angekettet auf engstem Raum, insbesondere nachts und während der Transporte ein unwürdiges Leben als "Manegenclown" verbringen. Schlechte Pflege, unzureichende Fütterung, Vernachlässigung und Misshandlungen sind im Circus keine Seltenheit. Dies führt zu gesundheitlichen Schäden, auch mit Todesfolge.

Site map Printer friendly Text size The first Black Marsh Turtle to hatch in a Europea Home About us Kids Visiting the Zoo ... Links The first Black Marsh Turtle to hatch in a European zoo 28 July 2004 Rescued from the Chinese food trade, first Black Marsh Turtle to hatch in a European zoo The first Black Marsh Turtle (Siebenrockiella croassicolis) to be bred in a European Zoo has hatched at Bristol Zoo Gardens this summer. This rare turtle is the first offspring to emerge from a group of 10,000 rescued turtles destined for human consumption in the illegal Chinese food trade and confiscated from a ship in Hong Kong in 2001. Bristol Zoo Gardens was part of the rescue effort, nursing individuals back to life after they were discovered in appalling conditions. Bristol Zoo Gardens’ baby Black Marsh Turtle is eight weeks old and is currently no bigger than a walnut, weighing in at 30 grams. Zoo keepers have been caring for the turtle in a humidity-controlled incubator, watching over its development from egg to baby. The turtle now appears to be lively and healthy and is already tucking in to hearty meals of chopped worms and snails. Its sex remains a mystery as it is too early to determine. In the wild, the Black Marsh Turtle population is currently threatened by habitat destruction and over collection. These aquatic turtles are also a popular traditional dish in South East Asia and China. Recent commercialisation has led to this species being sold on the mass market, which has had a huge impact on population numbers. Each year, millions of Black Marsh Turtles are shipped from all over Asia to Macau in China. Bristol Zoo Gardens worked as part of a European-wide rescue effort to save the turtles once they had been confiscated.

A World in Danger Who's in Danger? Golden lion tamarin Mhorr gazelle ... Animal Care Breeding Programmes Many of the species in Belfast Zoo are part of these programmes. In Europe, the most intensive species breeding programmes is called an EEP's, a European Endangered species breeding Programmes. These feature a species co-ordinator or manager, an elected species committee, made up of representatives from zoos that are part of the programme, to which the species co-ordinator is responsible. The co-ordinator oversees the entire population, and will recommend and co-ordinate the breeding and movement of any animals within the European region. The co-ordinator will also establish links with conservation programmes that are operating within the species countries of origin. Belfast Zoo currently works cooperatively with over 40 EEPs. For some groups of animals, such as pheasants and domestic rare breeds, the Zoo works co-operatively with breeding programmes established by organizations dedicated to the conservation of the animals in which they have a particular interest. In this way, the Zoo works closely with the World Pheasant Association and the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, and holds species of pheasant and domestic rare breeds as part of their breeding programmes. As well as being a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria, the Zoo is a member of the Federation of Zoos of Great Britain and Ireland. The Federation has also established cooperative breeding programmes within the British Isles region, and over 20 species in the Zoo are maintained as part of these programmes.

CITES calendar European zoos help endangered turtles Press Release Source: European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) Date: 10 January 2002 On Wednessday 9 January two representatives of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) left for Hong Kong to prepare the transportation of some 1,000 confiscated, endangered turtles to Europe. Some 10,000 rare turtles, intended for human consumption, were confiscated in Hong Kong on 11 December last year. Hong Kong authorities placed the animals, which had not been fed or watered for several weeks, in an animal rescue centre. Since the animals could not be returned to the wild, a solution for their permanent placement had to be found quickly. On request by the international Turtle Survival Alliance (and its board member Henk Zwartepoorte), the EAZA Executive Office asked its membership to make permanent housing for these turtles available. Approximately thirty EAZA zoos in 9 European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom) already offered their assistance and will provide some 1,000 turtles with new homes.

93. Animal Aid : Sport & Leisure : Zoos The average life for an elephant in a european zoo is 15 years half the lifespanof those in Asian timber camps, and less than a quarter of the life http://www.animalaid.org.uk/campaign/sport/zoos.htm

Home Campaigns Special report: January 2003 ZOOS Putting the con in conservation Zoos like to boast these days that they do valuable conservation work by breeding endangered species and giving them a fresh chance by returning them to the wild. The evidence shows that these claims are fraudulent, and that zoos are what they have always been - galleries of captive beasts. Tuli elephants at Basel Zoo, Switzerland (above and below). In 1998, 30 elephants were caught in the Tuli reserve, Botswana for sale to zoos, safari parks and circuses. After a court case, 23 were returned to the wild. 3 went to Basel Zoo, 4 others to Germany. At Basel they were being trained to do tricks alongside the 'resident' adults. Credit: C Redmond/CAPS BY CRAIG REDMOND OF THE CAPTIVE ANIMALS PROTECTION SOCIETY After a history of keeping animals merely for human entertainment, zoos now have a lofty aim of 'education, conservation and research'. Most people's idea of conservation when it comes to zoos would be to save animals from extinction by breeding them in captivity and releasing them into the wild, and zoos would have us believe that they have plenty of success stories. To first assess the validity of the zoo-conservation claim it's worth comparing the species zoos hold against those listed as threatened in the wild. The number of vertebrate species classed as threatened (which includes endangered and vulnerable) by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List (the definitive guide to the conservation status of species) in 2002 is 3,521 (7% of all vertebrates). Invertebrates add another 1,932 species to this list. Even this may be an underestimate as "other than mammals and birds only a small or extremely small proportion of the total number of species in any group have been assessed for threatened status."

Map of cooperations of Moscow zoo... à ÀRAZÀ O ne of the most significant features of the modern zoo is interzoo cooperation.The possibilities of obtaining new animals from the wild are extremely limited and decrease every year. Besides, the conservational role of the zoos requires that they did not "consume", but "produce" animals. Thus the captive populations of rare species should obviously be selfsustainable. T he long-termed reproduction of the restricted number of animals inevitably results in the inbreeding effects, but there are hardly zoo that can afford keeping quite large groups of the animals of the same species. Therefor, the only way to provide of genetic health of zoo populations is a worldwide cooperation among zoos. Only such cooperation can allow zoo populations to exist for a long time, and in appropriate circumstance even enable to carry out reintroduction. The more animals kept in different conditions take part in breeding, the more are the chances for success. For a long time zoos all over the world are participating in regional (European Association of Zoos and Aquariums, American. Association of Zoos and Aquariums, Euro-Asian Regional Association of Zoos and Aquariums ) and Global organizations. Within the framework of these organizations zoos carefully register every specimen of endangered species in their collections, develop and accomplish special projects of breeding of endangered species, using appropriate systems of animal exchanges between the zoos. These programs generally provide successful implementations of cooperation.

Paw prints The Newsletter of Newquay Zoo Taken from Summer 2005 Volume 8 Issue 3 (If you would like a hard copy of the full Newsletter please call 01637 873342 or email info@newquayzoo.org.uk for details ) From the Assistant Director’s chair Stewart Muir our Assistant Director is ‘our man in Vietnam’ at the moment. He has been very busy this year with Newquay Zoo’s overseas projects including the imminent arrival at the zoo of the long awaited Owston’s Palm Civets. Staff and volunteers have been busy fundraising for their new enclosure which completes the refurbishment of the Oriental Gardens. You may have noticed our new logo featured on the front of Paw Prints. The new logo has been designed to fit in with the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust ’family’ of logos including those for Living Coasts and Paignton Zoo. The new logo is a good symbol of ‘thinking global but keeping it local’ as Agenda 21 suggested back in the 1990s, a time of landmark documents such as the Kyoto Protocol and the Rio Earth Summit. This helped nations and individuals focus their thoughts on our shared future. Ten, fifteen, twenty years on from these meetings, what next? This year started with a major natural disaster; some of the funds from the EAZA Shellshock campaign activities have been earmarked for communities and turtle projects affected by the Tsunami. Another Shellshock turtle project is based in Cuc Phuong National park in Vietnam, home of those rare and beautiful civets.
