About this book

Language: German

Oases in the city, ambassadors for nature and environmental protection, partners in conservation programmes, places of learning and recreation – Nowadays more than ever zoos have to fulfill important and versatile functions. At the same time modern zoos have to deal with issues of animal welfare and limited financial resources and look at the needs of a heterogeneous audience.

The Handbuch Zoo outlines the duties modern zoos have and shows the conflict areas zoo experts move into – between science and animal welfare, animal inventory planning and lack of space, zoo pedagogy and garden investment. This richly illustrated book provides basic knowledge on the subject of zoo biology and, with the many example from across Europe, will not only appeal to experts but also inform laypeople regarding the challenges faced by modern zoos.

Summary in German:
Oasen in der Stadt, Botschafter für Natur- und Umweltschutz, Partner in Artenschutzprogrammen, Lern- und Erholungsort – Tiergärten haben heute mehr denn je wichtige und vielseitige Funktionen zu erfüllen. Gleichzeitig müssen sich moderne Zoos mit Fragen der artgerechten Haltung und limitierten finanziellen Ressourcen auseinandersetzen und sehen sich den Bedürfnissen eines heterogenen Publikums gegenübergestellt.

Das Handbuch Zoo umreißt die Aufgaben moderner Zoos und zeigt das Spannungsfeld, in dem sich Zoofachleute bewegen – zwischen Wissenschaft und Tierschutz, Tierbestandsplanung und Platzknappheit, Zoopädagogik und Gartenanlagen. Dieses reich bebilderte Buch vermittelt grundlegendes Wissen zur Tiergartenbiologie und will mit den vielen Beispielen aus ganz Europa nicht nur Fachleute ansprechen, sondern auch interessierte Laien für die Anliegen moderner Zoos begeistern.
