Connected Learning: Can I research and evaluate?

In Connected Learning, we will design a zoo enclosure for an animal.

Enclosure Design – Background Information

• Zoos display living things. Zoos that existed over 100 years ago were very different to the modern zoo of today. Early zoos tried to display as many animals as possible in order to attract the greatest number of visitors. In those days people had little or no understanding of the behaviour, habitat or needs of the animals. This led to the displaying of animals in small, dirty, heavily barred cages that resulted in abnormal behaviour by many animals and little education was provided for the visitor.

• Today zoos limit the size of their collections and enclosures have an overall theme, eg. South East Asian Rainforest, African Plains, Wetland Birds, Australian Rainforest. Also, mixed exhibits are more common, which is when more than one species live together in the same enclosure.

• A great deal of planning and discussion goes into developing an enclosure or group of enclosures. Apart from external involvement from, eg Architects, Designers, etc, the expertise of many Zoo Staff is also utilised. These may include Education Officers, Zookeepers, Horticulturists, Maintenance staff, Graphics designer and others.

• Naturalistic enclosures encourage animals to behave and reproduce as they would in the wild. However, it is almost impossible to completely recreate a natural habitat and compromises need to be made.

• Factors related to public viewing, safety, information, etc. and safe and easy access for Keepers and Maintenance staff also need to be considered.

• Funding (Sponsorship, Donations, etc) is also a major consideration.

• Signs are now a critical part of the enclosure as they provide the public with more information, particularly about the problems affecting species, the Zoo’s role in Conservation and how the Public can play a role in Conservation.
