The lemurs at Bioparc Valencia are chillaxin after a great day of learning with delegates from the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums. The Animal Training Working Group’s first conference affiliated workshop was a big success. Delegates enjoyed hands on training sessions, an elephant training demonstration and many video examples to explain how to train and to inspire. However, the greatest inspiration was watching participants reach training goals with naïve animals in just one session. Training doesn’t have to be difficult. And just a few simple behaviors can make a big difference in improving animal welfare. We are very grateful to everyone who participated and especially those who helped make this happen…we are talking to you team Biopark Valencia!! Don’t forget to join us tonight in the Ghana Room at 18:30 to learn how training can facilitate scientific studies and conservation programs and how zoos are helping. #eaza2019 #bioparcvalenica #orangutanconservation #lemurtraining #trainingforscience (at Bioparc Valencia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2jV8WUF6QY/?igshid=1ponf1438232f

People get weirded out when you put the words “training” and “research” together. But this article explains how those words go together and give us good animal welfare and important data to help wildlife https://60nscience.alaskasealife.org/2018/02/01/training-for-science/ Shout out to @animalconcepts for the link! #animaltraining #trainingforscience #arcticseal #sealtraining #marinemammaltraining #globalwarming #wildlifeconservation
