📣 New paper! 📣 How are zoos helping in the global mission to save biodiversity?

We worked with experts @unepwcmc to outline how zoos & aquariums can support the Kunming-Montreal biodiversity package to help protect our natural world 🌍🌿

This is a great study (although I would say that), but it is especially pleasing to see the first first-author paper by @GemmaEdney_. She completed the manuscript as a second-year undergraduate, which is simply amazing.

How do we make zoos more engaging?! 🤔🦓🦒🦜 An exciting NEW STUDY found interpretation design traits at CZ to have a HUGE impact on visitor engagement & learning, with interactive exhibits attracting 4X more visitors, who stop for 6X longer! 🤯 More at 👉 https://t.co/i0CrhDpUz0

@griffiths_huw It's Goose from Top Gun! Good work.

[Andrew Moss @Andrewm_CZ]

@janaschilbert Great work Jana. And in conservation biology too - amazing for your first, first author paper!

[Andrew Moss @Andrewm_CZ]

Great work here from Jana. Essential reading for all you zoo education folk out there It's open access too so no excuses.

[Jana Schilbert @janaschilbert]

Thrilled to share my #firstpaper about learning outcomes of #zoo & aquaria #conservation education! 🥳

Educational #research & practice need to include more affective learning outcomes to encourage behaviour change. #intentionbehaviourgap #ConSocSci

@NickCHarvey @verissimodiogo Good grief, this is ridiculous Nick. Surely the survey design is essential to assess the validity of the study? It's like saying you measured the length of something but without specifying the units used!

[Chester Zoo Science @ScienceatCZ]

Another fully funded PhD opportunity with us here @chesterzoo and @NTU_ARES! 🎓

Help us investigate the effects that zoos have both on psychological wellbeing and connectedness to nature among visitors, with green/blue spaces ever harder to access 🌱

@Raisinmeister Definitely don't look to see how big they can get then. Absolutely do not Google 'giant Wels catfish'

[Andrew Moss @Andrewm_CZ]

@verissimodiogo I very much like the idea of this experiment Diogo.

[Dr Samantha Ward 🌳🦏🦒🦘🦌🦧 @DrSamWard]

Connection to Nature and the role of zoos: Do zoos promote a healthy connection to nature? Have your say by completing this survey compiled by an @NTU_ARES student.
Inspired by a PhD project coming soon with @Andrewm_CZ @hill_rowenahill
