Every year an increasing number of students work at the zoo as volunteers, practitioners, or to make observations for master’s degrees and PhD’s. As there is no place in our country where students can get a formal education in the management of wild animals in captivity, a need arose to provide, apart from normal work, a professional training in various aspects of zoo biology. Therefore we decided to hold for the first time a summer school. During the intensive six day course from July 7 through July 12 there will be lectures as well as guided tours, led by curators, through the zoos. All higher staff of the zoo will be involved in the training. The lecture topics are varied and will cover all aspects of animal husbandry, feeding, history and development of modern zoos, conservation through captive breeding, reintroduction, record keeping, behavioral enrichment, hand-rearing techniques, genetics, international cooperation and education, and other subjects. Additionally, there will be a day-long excursion to the breeding center for native threatened species run by Academy of Agriculture. Over 40 people registered for the summer school in 2003. Students include zoo animal keepers, students, scientific university staff as well as people simply interested in wild animal husbandry and zoos in general. We do hope that in this way we will further strengthen ties with scientific and conservation community as well as prepare new, better trained staff for Polish zoos.
