动物丰容与科普教育结合的尝试——以长隆动物幼儿园丰容课堂为例

An Attempt to Combine the Enrichment and Conservation Education of Hand-reared Animals:A case study of the enrichment courses in Animal Nursery of Chimelong Safari Park,China

丰容是现代动物园提升动物福利的工作重点,有利于保持动物天性,也能让游客在观察过程中加深对动物的了解。长隆野生动物世界动物幼儿园近年来开展了各项丰容工作,建立了丰容库和丰容日常计划表,开创了丰容课堂。游客在保育员的指导下参与动物丰容制作,现场观察使用效果,提升了科普宣教效果。本文首次讨论了将丰容和科普相结合的创新模式,以及该模式在改善动物行为和达到科普教育目的方面的效果。通过统计分析评估游客科普效果和丰容效果,发现丰容课堂能有效地提升游客对保护教育的理解,同时有效增加野生动物的自然行为。这种将动物丰容和游客科普相结合的创新模式值得进一步探索和推广。

The abnormal behaviors such as stereotype behavior that are prone to hand-reared animals have always been a problem for various conservation institutions.The animal nursery of Chimelong safari park has carried out various enrichment works in recent years,including establishment of an enrichment pool and daily schedule.In this article we discuss the combination of enrichment and education as the form of public education class,which invites visitors to make toys for young animals,and the obvious effect on improving animal behavior as well as educational purpose.It is found that this form of class can effectively improve the understanding of tourists on conservation education and significantly reduce the boring behavior of animals.
