Author(s)
Silver, S.; Thompson, D.
Published
2014
Abstract
The status and conservation contribution of zoo populations to bear conservation is largely unknown in the bear research community. The status and decision making process by which captive bear populations are managed in zoos has the potential to exert significant influence on bear conservation in general. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), manages captive populations of all eight species of bears exhibited in North American zoological parks. This presentation will outline the different categories of management for each species population in zoos, as well as outline the status and challenges facing each population.
