TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Dear Members,

I am a biologist and had been worked at Brasília Zoo in Brazil. I am
looking for any information about albatross in captivity.

As is knowed, albatrosses are oceanic birds, very good flyers that
came to land only for breeding reasons or sometimes if they are
injured or near to die. They feed on small crustacea and cephalopoda
found in the ocean. For these reasons I believe that is pretty hard
to keep them in captivity. However, I received some questions last
week concerning this situation (albatross in captivity).

I would much appreciate if you could help on this issue. Do you have
any information about this bird in Zoos? What is your opinion for
keeping albatross in captivity?

I am looking forward to your reply.
Thank you in advance

Carlos

Have finally received confirmation that Basildon Zoo has closed.

Due to fuss when wrongly reported as closed earlier in the year can anyone
confirm or deny that zoo is closed.

Thanks for the update John.

It seems a bit confusing when the husband says the zoo is closing and the
wife says it isn't.

However, if the zoo does finally decide to close I hope people like yourself
will be in a position to help.

I hope anyone on this list who finds out more about zoo closures can keep
the list informed.

Andrew,

Recently I have read the news about Basildon Zoo, a fortnight ago I went to
visit the Basildon Zoo for last time before the zoo closure which there were
some animals who are still in their enclosures.  I spoken to the owner's
husband in the cafe, he admitted that the zoo is to be closed due to the
financial difficulties caused by foot and mouth crisis.  He gave me the
contact number of his wife who is running the zoo.  Therefore, when I
contacted her to offer help to take on her animals to be rehomed at my
wildlife sanctuary, she was furious with the press media which led the false
information that the zoo is not to be closed as she stated that the zoo is
still opened to the public as normal business.  The council had told her
that the leopard and lioness need to be removed from her zoo due to the
health and safety concerns according the Zoo Licensing Act 1981.

She is threatening to sue the libel against the newspapers and Born Free for
misleading information, what she told me on the phone which she was pretty
upset and angry, as I think there seems to be a confusion and I don't know
what will happen to the animals in the future.  I wonder if anyone who knows
more further of its facts.

Regards,

John Denerley

According to the supanet website thousands of Koala Bears are about to be culled
in an Island off the coast of Australia.

Can anyone who has any influence in zoos put it to there zoo boards to take on
any of these animals.

A koala bear would be a huge attraction in the UK as to my knowledge there are
none. I believe Dublin zoo is the only zoo that has one on these islands.

According to the born free website Basildon Zoo is closing in November 2001.

As it would be a shame for any of the animals to be destroyed could anyone
working in zoos see if there zoo is able to take on any of the animals.

MY HUSBAND AND I ARE BOTH WELL EDUCATED AND WELL QUALIFIED FOR EITHER
ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES OR DIRECT ANIMAL CARE AS THE
RESUMES BELOW WILL SHOW.  IF YOU CAN USE OUR HELP, PLEASE CONTACT US AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE.

ATTENTION:  ZOO DIRECTOR ---

Dear Sir:

           I am sending you the two Resumes below in hopes that you might have
an opening on your ZOO staff (or some other appropriate area) for
someone with our skills, experience, and abilities.  My husband, who holds a
Ph.D.
in Anthropology / Archaeology, has also worked very hard at the Zoo throughout
the
six years that I was the Registrar there, and he also has a  great deal
of experience and love of the animals, which is the reason that I have included
his
resume following my own below.  We have had excellent experience and success
with breeding and with hand-rearing numerous species and feel confident that
these
skills could be quite useful to you in your work there.

           We both love all animals, especially mammals,
but we have (so far) somewhat specialized in small to medium sized PRIMATES
(Tamarins, Marmosets, Squirrel Monkeys, Lemurs, Lorises, Lion Tailed
Macaques, Golden Bellied Mangabeys, 7 species of Guenons, Spider
Monkeys, and Gibbons), as well as medium and large CATS (Fishing
Cats, Servals, Tigers, Lions, etc.).  We are also quite experienced in
newborn and infant care of a wide variety of mammals, again, especially
Primates and Cats.  If you have a place for us on your staff, or if you
know of another similar position where we might be needed, please e-mail
me at the address below as soon as possible because we are actively
applying to a number of places at this time.

           We also have Administrative, Managerial, Training, and
Computer skills and experience in both Zoo and Educational settings
which would qualify either of us for Supervisory or Administrative
positions that might be available.

           Although our primary interest at this time is in working with exotic
animals, as you can see from our resumes below, we are both well qualified
for a great number of other kinds of positions as well.  We would be
happy to bring our education and skills to work for you in any of these
various areas.

NOTE: The "reply" function may reach me better than simply typing the
             address into a new message.

                      Sincerely Yours,

                      Carole Cavitt Satterlee

*********************************************************

Professional            1995-2001        Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo ---
Monroe, LA
Experience              ZOO

*   Primate Enrichment Specialist:
           I was originally hired as the very first Enrichment Specialist
at this Zoo because of my interests and my background with Educational
Psychology at the Graduate level, 30 years of teaching experience, etc.
that would qualify me to do this job.  However, I was there only a few
weeks when I realized that the Keepers in  the Primate Department needed
extra help, so I began to help with all of the regular Keeper routine
(scrubbing, feeding, medicating, exhibit maintenance, etc.) for all of
the Primates in the building and on our 10 islands --- besides my
original Enrichment activities.  In this way, I quickly learned about
all of the animals and their care.
         Because of my Doctoral work in Education, I have a strong
background at the graduate level in both cognitive and behavioral psychology
as well as many years experience with constructing and using measurable
Behavioral Objectives, designing objective testing instruments, and
statistically evaluating the test results.  Therefore, I was also
instrumental in initiating Operant Conditioning of the animals (approach
training, crate training, medication protocols, etc.) in an effort to
lessen their stress during needed contact, providing training to the
Primate and Nursery keepers on my teams as needed.

*   Registrar and Records Manager:
           I had been at the Zoo for about 6 months when our Registrar
left.  Because of my background in computers and good work record, I was
then promoted to this position which was then my main job until I
resigned.  This office was a key part of the Administration /
Management team at our Zoo, and, as such, I was directly involved in
all Management activities.  Although the Zoo had always been a member of
ISIS and used their databases (ARKS, SPARKS, MedARKS, etc.),  the
general condition of the records was pitiful.  Thus, I began to revamp
the entire records system completely, continuing to use ARKS, but also
adding several other databases and spreadsheets of my own design and
construction.  It was slow going at first, but the Zoo now has a solid,
usable system in place to keep track of their 800 or so animals.  As
Registrar I also gave an annual report to the City of Monroe of all
animal money collected or owed in a complex system of purchases, sales,
trades, loans, and donations.  I also sent annual reports and renewals
to maintain our many licenses and permits, both State and Federal.  As
Registrar I was also responsible for all shipping of animals in or out
of the Zoo, including all paperwork, travel arrangements, and often even
taking them to the airport or picking them up personally.

*   Hospital / Nursery Supervisor:
           The Hospital / Nursery was located right next to my
Registrar's office, so, besides my regular Registrar duties, I was also
assigned to supervise a staff of four Keepers who cared for these
animals.  I also participated in much of this daily routine and often
took infants or critically ill animals home to care for them through the
night with the help of my husband who loved the Zoo as much as I did.
Together we raised nearly 70 baby animals at home for the Zoo.

*   Primate Supervisor:
           Since I began my Zoo career doing enrichment and general
Keeper duties in the Primate Department, my heart remained there even
after I became Registrar.  Thus, when our Primate Supervisor left, I
also took over this Department, supervising a staff of six Keepers in
addition to my regular Registrar duties until we finally found another
person to assume this Primate position.

*   Acting Collections Manager / General Curator:
           Although I did not have this official title, I do have 6 years
of experience in doing this job because I was always closely involved in
the decision-making and negotiations concerning the composition of our
animal collection.  The last two years I was there, my activities in
these areas increased even more since we had no other collection manager
or general curator at all.


*   Education Curator:
           Before we had an Education Curator, I took outreach animals to
schools and civic functions, gave guided tours of the Zoo to thousands
of school children, wrote all the scripts for the Zoo segment of “Kids
World,” a local TV show, put together educational materials for the
schools, etc.

*   Public Relations:
           Before we finally hired a P.R. person, I handled or helped
with most of the press-releases, preparations for special events, TV
appearances with animals, etc.

*   Other Computer Projects:
           Because of my experience with computers and my interest in
design and architecture, I was also called upon to design new exhibits,
buildings, and gardens and to draw them up on the computer in both 2-D
and 3-D models.  I also worked with graphic designs and signage for the Zoo.

                         *   Gillespie High School
           I retired from Gillespie High School after teaching there for
30 years.  During that time, I taught mostly College-Prep and College
Credit courses in British Lit. (Seniors) and American Lit. (Juniors),
but I also taught some Honors English classes at the Sophomore and even
Freshman levels.  Occasionally I even taught a class in remedial
English.  In addition, I also taught Public Speaking for 10 years and
coached Debate and Drama as well.   I also taught Computer Programming
(BASIC) and Computer Literacy (applications such as Database, Spreadsheet,
and Word Processing programs) for 15 years.

                         *   Lewis & Clark Community College
                                   In addition to my “day job” at the high
school, I often
taught Computer Programming (BASIC) and Computer Literacy for our
Community College.  These courses included the use of various
word processing, database, and spreadsheet applications on both IBM and
Macintosh computers.

                         *   Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, IL
                                   I taught several night courses in English
Literature and
Linguistics for S.I.U. at the 100, 200, and 300 levels.



Publications:           In 1970 I collected, edited, and published a small
volume
                                 of poetry called, “Poets from Knowhere,”
                                 which was well-received by the local literary
community.

This message may be of interest to any young people in the south (UK) who
are interested in getting some valuable work experience in
environmental/conservation education.....




LAST CALL FOR APPLICANTS: AN OPPORTUNITY IN ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION

A UK environmental charity has recently won more than £400,000 from the
Millennium Commission to fund young adults (aged 16-23)  to undertake
environmental education projects in the community.

Over the three-year life of the Scheme, 115 new environmental education
projects in in the three counties of Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire will be
given funding. Grants of up to £3500 are available for individuals, and
groups of up to three friends can devise a project together with a grant of
up to £10,000. An Award Winning Project could be on any aspect of
environment or conservation provided that it includes an educational
benefit. Projects might educate members of the community through talks,
tours, debates, websites, videos, or performances.

With more than 20 years experience in environmental education, The Young
People¹s Trust for the Environment and Nature Conservation (YPTENC) is well
qualified to make this project a success. The YPTENC provides a range of
services for young people including free environmental factsheets, free
school talks, an environmental bulletin for teachers, and a range of study
expeditions and residential courses. YPTENC believe in the importance of
learning through hands-on activities and believe that the best people to
take care of the environment for the future are those who will have to live
in it for many more years to come.

Until now much of the work done by YPTENC has targeted school age young
people (for details see www.yptenc.org.uk). The new Living for the Future
Millennium Award Scheme offers an exciting opportunity for individual young
adults who want to make a real difference to their local community and
environment.  By taking part, Award winners develop a whole range of new
skills in everything from conservation to peer education, project management
and budgeting. In addition, they will get the satisfaction of making their
own idea become reality.

If you would like any additional information, please contact Eleanor
Bridgman, Living for the Future Millennium Award Scheme Leader, Young
People¹s Trust for the Environment and Nature Conservation (YPTENC) , 8
Leapale Road, Guildford, GU1 4JX tel: 01483 452951 fax: 01483 301992 e-mail:

and mentoring is provided by dedicated staff at YPTENC throughout the life
of each Award Winner¹s project. Living for the Future is a three year scheme
with annual rounds of application in summer 2001, 2002 and 2003.

… Award Winners are selected through a competitive application process.

I always find the best place to contact in the first instance in cases like
this in order of priority are:

  1. Animal welfare organisations such as the RSPCA , preferably locally.
They tend to have contacts with where animals can be placed.

2. Animal sanctuaries such as Donkey rescue centres etc.

3. For domesticated animals such as your cow, City farms tend to be good
places. Check out any local ones. A directory of UK city farms are on my
website at www.zoos.50megs.com .

4. Local zoos.

I often get this enquiry on my website perhaps others on the list may have
an idea of how we can solve this on the internet. Surely with the facilities
the web offers we should be able to come up with a simple and effective
solution.

I will start by listing various animal sanctuaries such as the Donkey
Sanctuary in future. If anyone knows of any please let me know them.

The sort of information I need will be :

1. Name of organisation, address, telephone, fax, website and e-mail
address.

2. The type of animals catered for.

Can anyone help?

I visited a farm shop yesterday; all the animals are kept in cosy
enough barn area, not in a field. One unusual looking creature was
some kind of "african cow" - she was alone, didnt look very happy at
all, had maybe had her horns removed (?) and had very overgrown
hooves.

I mentioned the hooves to the owner, he mumbled about costs.

Does anybody know of a specialist place that might want this poor
thing? He doesnt really want it. I would like to help it. Please

I have always been interested in Natural history, zoology, conservation etc.

I am trying to co- ordinate internet activity with regard to zoos as I believe
more can be achieved by working together than apart.

I also believe that zoo activity is too fragmented in general and on the
internet in particular. I dont think the benefits of the internet has yet been
appreciated by zoos.

I run a UK zoo directory website at www.zoos.50megs.com . I hope to inform the
group about amendments to zoo sites and my directory as they happen.

I hope also to be advised of amendments from members of this group which will
hopefully make it easier to maintain my site. This is at present very time
consuming.

The membership of this group has been slowly building up over the past few
months. It is not a very active group which is OK.

However it may be that we need to kickstart the group.

To start of some discussions it maybe beneficial for members to say a bit about
themselves and what they can contribute or what they are hoping to gain from the
group.

At the end of the day the group is to be beneficial and if there is nothing you
want to say at the present time thats fine also.

I will send in brief details on myself shortly.

Although this group was started several months ago it has not been
active. I was hoping to have recruited more members before activating
the group.

I am really attempting to unite a build a variety of internet
services for the use of Zoos and those who work or are interested in
Zoology.

There is a website at http://zoos.bizland.com/zoositecommunity.htm
which is the official site of this group and lists the philosophy in
more detail.

To start the group off I list below some potential Topics to be
discussed.

Topics

The topics of the list are very general at the moment and are really
designed to ask and recieve answers to questions on any zoological
matter. Potential subjects for discussion may include:

Webmaster topics- promoting sites, detailing web site services
available and how to make the most of them, requesting or announcing
information on zoo websites.

Animal Exchange- Act as a forum to notify of animals surplus to
requirements and those wanted by various collections. Act as a
clearing house for abandoned animals, whether rescued, obtained by
customs or from individuals.

Animal Problems- Act as a forum to share knowledge on Animal
problems. This could include sharing experiences on vetinary, animal
husbandry and breeding, animal behaviour etc. Lets put everyones
knowledge to use.

Visitor services- hints and tips on zoo visitor attractions. What
works and what doesn't.

Finances- Hints and tips on money generators, appeals and cost
cutting ideas.


Finally please feel free to introduce yourself to the group and if
you work in a zoo why not tell us a little about your zoo. Please
also try to recruit your colleagues to the list we will all benefit
much more if we have more members.

Hello,

My name is Avery and I am a freshman in high school in New York. As
part of my requirements for graduating I am required to interview
a person with a career related to the environment. In
the process of researching careers that have an affect
on the environment, I found your careers of dealing
with animals. I find your careers vast and important
and was wondering if you would take the time to fill
out a simple questionnaire on your job. Thank you for
your time and I hope for your prompt reply.

Many Thanks,
Avery
