Support the International
Congress of Zoo Keepers Conference
Funds raised through the eBay
auction of these paintings will help support the
2009 conference
of the Third Annual International Congress of Zookeepers/36th
American Association of Zookeepers National Conference.
This combined ICZ/AAZK conference represents the first
time these two professional zoo keeper organizations have
joined
to bring together animal care professionals from around
the world to the United States. The conference will improve
the levels of communication between keepers from around
the world, and serve as a basis for supporting the development
of zoo keeping as a profession in regions where professional
keeper associations do not currently exist. This will
ultimately benefit wildlife located in zoos and those in
conservation
projects everywhere.
The conference will be held at Woodland
Park Zoo in September 2009 with zookeepers coming from zoos
all around the world. This is truly a unique chance for
professionals to meet, network and learn valuable new insights
into their profession and to help them share new techniques
in order to care for the animals in their institutions in
innovative new ways. Some of the topics will include:
- animal behavioral enrichment techniques
- diet and nutrition
- keeper and animal safety
- integrating field conservation with the
work they perform in zoos
Be part of a growing wave of people supporting
conservation AND own a piece of art that is sure to be treasured
by you and appreciated by all who see it. Conservation starts
with YOU!
