California Condor Conservation |
1.00 |
In 1987, California condors were an extinct species in the wild when the last birds were trapped and placed in the protective custody of the Los Angeles and San Diego zoos. Using experience with Andean condors to breed them in captivity, the small population of just 27 birds was successfully grown, considering genetics and behavior, to the point where they could be released back in the wild. Now, with nearly 200 individuals in captivity and as many flying free in the wild, the species is well on its way to full recovery. This webinar will focus on the methods and strategies used and the trials and tribulations encountered by organizations and individuals that saved this species. |

"I wish I had more time to do what I like doing!" This common expression relates to many concepts all vying for the same time and attention simultaneously. Rarely is there time or resources available to dedicate to enrichment and training. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Animal Keeper’s daily role. This course will provide an opportunity for the keeper/trainer to evaluate the daily processes to identify and eliminate Non Value Added process steps and allow more time for enrichment and training. Useful concepts, such as Root Cause and Current State/Future State will be used to identify the waste. There will be tools provided, which can be applied in any situation, to simplify work duties and increase daily efficiency. |
