The Florida Reef stretches from Biscayne National Park south past Everglades National Park and down to Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida. It's roughly 350 miles long, and is the only coral reef in the continental United States. When it comes to reefs around the world, the Florida Reef is the third largest. But, unfortunately, it's under a lot of pressure. It's dealing with pollution, ocean warming, damage inflicted by anchors, and disease. Perhaps the most serious disease infecting the reef is Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, which can be fatal to corals. Our guest today is Beth Firchau, who works for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Part of her role is to manage the association's safe coral program, and part of her role is AZA's coordinator for the Florida Reef Tract Rescue Program. And part of her work involves a network of aquariums across the United States that are holding samples of corals from the Florida Reef.

Zoos have come a long way—and in this episode of The Backyard Naturalists Podcast, Debbie and Laurie kick off their first recording of 2026 by exploring just how different modern zoos are from those many of us remember as kids. From concrete enclosures to expansive, naturalistic habitats, today's zoos play a vital role not only in animal care, but in global conservation. Joining the conversation is Drew Cronin, Director of Conservation Education and Science at the North Carolina Zoo, who offers an eye-opening look at how zoos now serve as powerful hubs for research, education, and worldwide conservation action. Drew shares insights from nearly two decades of work across North America, Africa, and beyond, highlighting innovative projects like the SMART Partnership, a groundbreaking conservation technology platform now used in more than 1,500 protected areas worldwide. From protecting amphibians in North Carolina to supporting national park systems in Africa and Indigenous wildlife monitoring in Canada, this episode is packed with "whoa moments" that show how conservation success depends on empowering people, funding protection efforts, and rethinking our relationship with wildlife. If you think zoos are just about animals behind glass, this conversation may completely change your perspective. Episode highlights include: How modern zoos support global conservation, not just local exhibits Why habitat protection is as much about people as it is about wildlife The challenge of funding and capacity in worldwide conservation efforts A behind-the-scenes look at innovative technology shaping the future of protected areas

Zoos bring us much closer to wildlife, but their existence is a controversial topic. Go online and it's easy to find groups that advocate for the closure of zoos, assessing that they do more harm than good to animals.Complaints usually relate to confinement, the lack of space, unnatural environments and crowded conditions as the main problems against animal well-being. But experts working in zoos think differently. So the question boils down to: are zoos actually beneficial to animals? Do they have a role to play in conservation? And what can we learn from zoos on the impact of human beings on animals still living in the wild?In this episode, we will investigate these questions with Martin Boye, President of the European Association for Aquatic Mammals, and Kate Werner, Senior Campaign Manager at PETA UK.Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.Production: EuropodFollow us on:LinkedInInstagram Hosted on Acast.

SYNOPSIS:In this live Q&A episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, host Ali Mezey is joined by fan-favorite guest and Longevity Zoologist, Dr. Zoolittle (“Penny”) for a wide-ranging, eye-opening conversation on how we can radically improve the health, happiness, and lifespan of our animal companions.Together, Ali and Penny explore what it truly means to be intelligent caretakers of animals – moving beyond conventional pet care toward a rewilded, biologically informed approach rooted in functional and regenerative medicine. Penny explains why pets used to live much longer, how modern lifestyles disrupt animal biology, and what we can learn from wild animals about instinct, self-medication, nutrition, movement, and rest.The discussion dives into practical and often surprising topics, including animal instinct versus learned behavior, why dogs don't naturally overeat, how feeding patterns affect hormones and longevity, the profound impact of spaying and neutering on animal health, and the importance of species-appropriate diets. Penny also answers audience questions on indoor cats, fasting, raw versus cooked food, enrichment, and how to bring nature back into our pets' lives – even within modern homes.This episode challenges deeply ingrained assumptions about pet care and offers compassionate, science-based insights that empower animal guardians to support their companions in thriving – not just surviving – well into old age. A must-listen for anyone who loves animals and wants to honor the intelligence of their bodies as much as our own.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeALI BIO: Ali Mezey is a Body Therapist, Family Constellation Work Facilitator, Sexologist and Media Maker with over 40 years of experience.

What does good welfare really look like for bears and other non-human animals living in zoos—and how can we measure it in meaningful, practical ways?In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Anna Fourage, animal welfare expert, to explore the development of welfare assessment tools for captive bears, with a special focus on zoos across Asia and Thailand. She co-founded People or Pets in China, holds an MSc in International Animal Welfare, Ethics, and Law from the University of Edinburgh, and just finished her PhD in anthropology researching the role of zoos in Thailand. Anna shares key insights from recent research on creating a composite welfare assessment tool for hibernatory bears, unpacking its major findings, strengths, and current limitations.We dive into the reliability of keeper ratings as welfare indicators across different institutions, discussing the real challenges of intra- and inter-rater consistency. Together, we explore which behavioural, physiological, and environmental indicators are currently the most valid for assessing bear welfare.Beyond the science, this conversation tackles the practical and ethical realities of zoo welfare. How can welfare tools be designed to be both scientifically robust and realistically usable, especially in resource-limited settings? What are the biggest barriers facing Thai zoos in improving welfare standards?We also broaden the lens to the global ethical challenges of keeping large mammals in captivity, discussing the evolving mission of modern zoos—balancing conservation, education, and animal welfare—and how visitors can be meaningfully engaged in that mission.An essential listen for anyone interested in animal welfare science, zoo ethics, conservation, andthe future of captive wildlife care.Dive deeper...Environmental Parameters as Indicators of Bear Welfare (Fourage et al. 2025)-  https://doi.org/10.1002/zoo.70010High Prevalence of Dysfunctional Animal–Visitor Interactions in 225 Southeast Asian Zoos and Aquariums (Fourage et al., 2024)-  https://doi.org/10.3390/ani14223167Increase in the number of captive lions in Thailand suggests ineffective legislation (Fourage et al., 2025)  https://doi.org/10.1007/s44353-025-00040-4If you have any comments, suggestions or questions, please email: podcast.daretocare@gmail.com.We are always happy about feedback!FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS - Instagram: @daretocare_podcast

A new observation theater at a zoo in northern New Jersey lets visitors see animals get live medical treatments. Veterinarians at the Turtle Back Zoo hope the new installation educates people on the care that animals receive at the zoo while inspiring kids to pursue medicine as a profession. One morning, visitors peered through a large glass window into a new, spacious treatment room, watching as a middle-aged female turkey vulture with arthritis underwent a 30-minute wellness check. During the exam, she was anesthetized, X-rayed, had her eyes and wings examined, had blood drawn, and was microchipped. The animal wound up at the zoo after breaking its wing in the wild. The experience was new not only for the turkey vulture but also a novelty for many of the onlookers, because few zoos offer a window on veterinary care. The Turtle Back Zoo, this year, joined the relatively few U.S. zoos that routinely give the public a view of veterinary care. While there's no exact count, it's perhaps a dozen or fewer of the 250 animal parks accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. In an era when social media campaigns and lawsuits have questioned the well-being of captive animals, some zoos see putting vets on view as a form of transparency. The compact, suburban Turtle Back Zoo is recognized for its contributions to conserving clouded leopards and caring for ailing wild sea turtles. More whimsically, it's known for fostering a friendship between a cheetah and Labrador retriever that had a social media moment. Opened in 1963, the county-owned zoo was threatened with closure amid financial problems and poor attendance in the mid-1990s. A steady march of renovations and additions in the 2000s turned things around, and it now draws nearly 1 million visitors per year. In recent years, a need to upgrade the animal hospital evolved into a plan for a multi-million-dollar new building. Financed with county, state, and federal grants, it opened in April and lets visitors see into areas including the treatment and surgical rooms. The Barry H. Ostrowsky Animal Wellness Center also includes rooms for quarantine, nursery, and data research. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Invité: Jean Estebanez. Les zoos sont à la fois appréciés des enfants et de plus en plus critiqués, à lʹheure de la montée de la sensibilité envers les animaux et de lʹantispécisme. Ils révèlent notre rapport ambigu au vivant, entre liberté et captivité, entre fascination et malaise. Que vient-on chercher au zoo? Comment évoluent-ils? Que disent-ils de nous, êtres humains?

Tierisch menschlich - Der Podcast mit Hundeprofi Martin Rütter und Katharina Adick

Von Zynismus im Politik-TV über Kulturkampf um „vegane Wurst“ bis zu einem mutigen Toilettentauchgang. Katharina und Martin blicken zurück auf eine Woche voller Merkwürdigkeiten und stellen sich vor allem die Frage, was Zoos und Wildparks heute leisten – oder eben nicht: Ein Besuch im Wildpark führt zur bedrückenden Beobachtung einer stereotyp laufenden Wildkatze und zu einer Debatte Artenschutz-Argumente vs. reale Haltungsbedingungen für die Tiere in Zoos. Zum Traingingstipp: Targetstick & Clicker – wofür taugt's und wofür nicht? Und: Ein riesen Dankeschön an alle Spender:innen für die Tierhilfe Ukraine!!!

Before Everything Everywhere All At Once, and after Swiss Army Man and the "Turn Down for What" music video, Daniel Scheinert directed a commercially unsuccessful indie film called "The Death of Dick Long." It's about two friends who get into a heap of trouble horsing around in Alabama. They drop their curiously injured friend Dick Long off at the emergency room one night, and the suspense that ensues next leads the audience down a path they'll never forget (for better or for worse). Since 2019 and the success of Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Death of Dick Long has garnered somewhat of a cult following amongst A24 fans as a dark comedy with beautiful cinematography. How will the A24 rocks crew saddle up for this one?

On Friday's show: The Houston Chronicle is reporting that UTHealth Houston is laying off dozens of employees due to “financial headwinds.” The move comes after the academic health science center implemented a hiring freeze in early July. Is this and other belt tightening at area health care institutions in recent months a momentary blip or a sign of more to come for Houston's health care industry? Health economist Vivian Ho breaks down what it all means.Also this hour: Not all zoos and aquariums are created equal. While many advertise fun for the whole family or showcase loved and well-cared-for animals, the reality is that caring for a multitude of exotic and endangered species requires extensive education and expertise. We learn how the AZA and the Houston Zoo set and enforce standards to make sure all animals get the best care possible.Then, from HISD being among the 11 Texas school districts temporarily blocked from displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms after a ruling in federal court, to the City of Houston launching a “Train Watch” webpage with real-time info on rail crossings with stopped trains, our panel of "non-experts" decides The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.And veteran voice actor Phil LaMarr talks about the many characters he's voiced.

Wie immer beginnen wir unser Programm mit einem Rückblick auf einige aktuelle Ereignisse. In unserer ersten Diskussion geht es um die Entlassung der Chefstatistikerin der US-Regierung aufgrund von Zahlen, die Präsident Trump nicht gefielen. Wir sprechen in diesem Zusammenhang auch über historische Parallelen. Anschließend diskutieren wir über die Entscheidung eines Zoos in Dänemark, Haustierbesitzer zu bitten, ihre Haustiere zur Fütterung von Löwen zu spenden. In unserem Wissenschaftsteil sprechen wir heute über eine Studie, die die genetische Verwandtschaft zwischen Kartoffeln und Tomaten erklärt, obwohl diese beiden Pflanzen deutliche äußerliche Unterschiede aufweisen. Und wir beenden den ersten Teil des Programms mit einer Diskussion über die Auktion von Modeartikeln. Gegenstände, die einst berühmten Persönlichkeiten gehörten, werden zu sehr hohen Preisen verkauft. Der Rest der heutigen Folge ist der deutschen Sprache und Kultur gewidmet. Im ersten Dialog geht es um Beispiele für das Grammatikthema dieser Woche The Imperative Mood (Imperativ). Die deutsche Sprache befindet sich ständig im Wandel. Dabei setzen sich auch Wörter und Formulierungen aus anderen Sprachen im Sprachgebrauch fest. Wir sprechen darüber, wie insbesondere Anglizismen die deutsche Sprache prägen und dass dies nicht allen gefällt. War Ludwig Erhard wirklich der Vater des deutschen Wirtschaftswunders, wie es die Deutschen bis heute behaupten? Die Wahrheit könnte komplizierter sein. Erhard glaubte an freie Märkte mit einem sozialen Sicherheitsnetz und begründete die sogenannte soziale Marktwirtschaft in Deutschland.

We cover how to interpret animal body language, the unique needs of specific dog breeds, and the needs of cats and birds. We also discuss the pros and cons of spaying and neutering and how weaning age impacts a pet's attachment style.
