Märksõnad:
Animal curation is a vital and evolving discipline that integrates science, policy, and hands-on care to ensure the highest standards of animal welfare. As the role of zoos, aquaria, sanctuaries, and research facilities expands beyond exhibition to conservation and education, the management of animals under human care has become increasingly scientific. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the organisation, policies, and procedures essential for effective animal care programs. It emphasises evidence-based practices in husbandry, veterinary care, and facility management while prioritising both animal well-being and staff safety. Through detailed chapters and real-world case studies, readers will explore species-specific needs, ethical considerations, and regulatory compliance. Designed for students and professionals in animal science, welfare, and conservation, this book moves beyond basic care, focusing on the concept of 'thriving' rather than mere survival. It is an essential resource for shaping the future of animal management and welfare.

'Dr. Halloran presents a comprehensive approach to captive animal care where every individual not just survives, but thrives. It's a comprehensive treaty that can serve as a foundation for any organization responsible for the care of captive animals and was developed out of decades of real frontline sanctuary experience.' Jon Stryker, Save the Chimps 'In this volume, Andrew Halloran describes the care, dedication, and goals of sanctuaries in rescuing, nurturing, and rehabilitating chimpanzees and other animals so that they can thrive in a more humane and stimulating social and physical environment. This book is a must read for anyone interested in animal behavior, animal welfare, animal rights, veterinary sciences, animal psychology, as well as those considering a career in zoos, aquaria, or sanctuaries. I recommend it highly.' Paul A. Garber, University of Illinois
