Podcasts about zoos

ALEJANDRO GRAJAL  Alejandro has lived and breathed the amazing natural ecosystems that make up our beloved planet. He is also an accomplished  and prolific author that currently leads Woodland Park Zoo, one of the largest zoos in America with a legacy of 126 years and one of the most important cultural and most visited institutions in Seattle.  He is internationally known for his vision to define a new relationship between humans and nature by helping to restore the deep, affective bond between people and animals. He advocates for zoos as the best community institutions to create a social movement for conservation, to foster science learning beyond the classroom, and to ensure that all people have access to nature, regardless of socioeconomic background. Before joining the zoo, Alejandro served as senior vice president for conservation, education and training at the Chicago Zoological Society/Brookfield Zoo, where he headed the Center for Conservation Leadership, oversaw field conservation and research programs for the Center for the Science of Animal Welfare, and supervised education programs. Previously, he had served as executive director of international programs for the National Audubon Society and director of Latin American programs at the Wildlife Conservation Society in New York. A noted author, Alejandro's publications include 45 peer-reviewed books, chapters, and scientific and popular articles covering topics which span the psychology of conservation, measuring the impact of environmental education, the sustainable use of natural resources and ornithology, among others. He leads the Climate Literacy Zoo Education Network (CliZEN), a coalition of zoological institutions, universities and NGOs.  In 2016, Trustees of the Chicago Zoological Society awarded him the prestigious George B. Raab Medal for Conservation Leadership, recognizing his lifelong contributions to environmental and species protection, and inspiring future generations of scientists and leaders to tackle big questions about living harmoniously with all beings on the planet.  In his spare time, he is an accomplished wildlife artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries in major cities. He currently serves on the boards of Wild Welfare, the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums and World Trade Center Seattle. Alejandro earned his undergraduate degree in ecology from Simón Bolívar University in Caracas, Venezuela and his PhD in zoology from the University of Florida.

A feed drop from the Secretly Incredibly Fascinating podcast, with me and Alex Schmidt! On this very Creaturey-featurey episode, we talk about the history of zoos, and tons of cool zoo facts! Baby pygmy hippos definitely mentioned! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

Niall asks if zoos serve a purpose any more

Niall asks if zoos serve a purpose any more

In today's thought-provoking episode, Niall opens the phone lines and asks a big question: Are zoos still relevant in the 21st century — or is it time we phased them out?As the debate heats up, callers from across the country weigh in with passionate and diverse opinions.

Are zoos an anachronism in the 21st century when we can watch animals in their natural habitat, close-up from our couches without worrying about cruelty? Should they go the way of other bygone era ‘spectacles' and ‘attractions' that we now regard as barbaric? There are vocal campaigners and activists who believe so. Heather Browning and Walter Veit disagree, but they acknowledge there is a case to be answered. In What Are Zoos For? (Bristol University Press, 2024) they test the common justifications for zoos (entertainment, education, research, conservation) against the evidence and suggest what the best zoos of the future should look like to ensure that they are primarily for animals and not just for people. Heather Browning is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Southampton. Her primary research interests are animal welfare, ethics, and consciousness. Previously, she worked for many years as a zookeeper and zoo animal welfare officer, interested in the practical application of animal welfare measurement. Walter Veit is Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Reading and an external member of the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. He's also the author of A Philosophy for the Science of Animal Consciousness (Routledge, 2023). Most of his ongoing research is on the consciousness and welfare of animals and AIs. Kyle Johannsen is Sessional Faculty Member in the Department of Philosophy at Trent University. His most recent authored book is Wild Animal Ethics: The Moral and Political Problem of Wild Animal Suffering (Routledge, 2021). Learn more about your ad choices.

Die Tötungen von Zootieren machen viele Menschen betroffen. Sind Zoos noch zeitgemäß? Wie sähe ein guter Zoo für Sie aus? Gast: Paulina Kuhn vom Deutschen Tierschutzbund, Moderation: Anja Backhaus. Von WDR 5.

This week on Unleashed, Cheryl Kaye welcomes Meghan Tiemann, Captive Wildlife Specialist with the PETA Foundation, to uncover the harsh truths behind America's roadside animal “attractions.” As families gear up for summer road trips, Meghan explains why some so-called “rescues” and “sanctuaries” are anything but. From tiger cub selfies to rundown petting zoos, many of these facilities are little more than tourist traps where animals are confined, neglected, and exploited for profit. Meghan shares the shocking realities she's witnessed in the field, success stories of animal rescues, and how you can spot a true sanctuary from a scam. If you care about animals and ethical travel, this is a must-hear episode! Learn how to enjoy an animal-friendly summer and help push for a future where all animals are free to roam, not be put on display.

Der Nürnberger Zoo macht will 20 gesunde Paviane töten, weil ihnen der Platz ausgeht. Gleichzeitig möchten sie Millionen in den Ausbau des Giraffengeheges investieren, um dort die Zucht voranzutreiben. Wir fragen uns, wieso darf ein Zoo auf der einen Seite völlig im Populationsmanagement versagen, gesunde Tiere töten und gleichzeitig an einer anderen Stelle fleißig weiterzüchten? Verkaufen Giraffen mehr Eintrittskarten? Der Kölner Zoo schläfert gesunde Löwenbabys ein, weil die Aufzucht als problematisch galt. In Kopenhagen werden insgesamt 4 Löwen getötet, weil das Management versagt hat. In Magdeburg werden Löwenbabys eingeschläftert, weil der Vater ein Hybride war. Das fragt man sich, wieso lässt man es dann überhaupt erst soweit kommen? Verteidigt wird dieses Vorgehen von der EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria). Für die ist das einfach ganz normales Vorgehen aber da stellen wir uns langsam die Frage: Geht es hier um das Wohl der Tiere oder um das Wohl der Zoos?

Our institutions strive to provide education, conservation, and scientific discovery to the communities we serve. There are several ways in which aquariums and zoos contribute to the scientific knowledge of animals and their behavior, though they may not be the straightforward ways you might imagine. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

Tierparks und Kunst? Haben mehr miteinander zu tun, als man vielleicht denkt. Franz Marc und viele weitere Künstler der Moderne haben viel Zeit in Tierparks verbracht und sie als Inspirationsquelle genutzt. Zudem erzählen ihre Bilder viel über die Zoos vor über 100 Jahren. Vom Zoo in der Moderne und vom modernen Zoo - Zoogeschichte mal ganz anders. In der aktuellen Folge Mia san Tier.

Am 22. Juli 1860 hat der Kölner Zoo zum ersten Mal seine Türen für Besucher aufgemacht. Tierschutzorganisationen kritisieren Zoos, weil die Tiere dort eingesperrt sind. Was hat sich bei dem Thema im Laufe der Jahre verbessert? Von Nikolas Fischer.

What's the secret to crafting a killer mix? Grammy-winning mix engineer Collin Dupuis joins us to share his insights on mixing techniques, room acoustics, and creative chaos. Known for working with The Black Keys, Lana Del Rey, Angel Olsen, he discusses the evolution of music gear, collaboration, experimentation, clarity in mixing, effective file management, and tools like Soundflow and Samply that streamline workflow. Collin talks about vintage recording equipment, the revival of classic multitrack tapes, and automation in modern mixing. He shares experiences with in-person learning, challenges working with musicians of varying skill levels, techniques for enhancing drum sounds, the importance of headphone mixes for drummers, microphone choices and design, and the historical impact of Stevens tape machines. From live-to-two-track recording to innovative mixing, Collin offers valuable insights into pushing creative boundaries.

He also plays drums in his band Zoos of Berlin. In 2024, Collin came to my studio to teach a mixing masterclass that was a ton of fun. We had a full studio of dedicated producers and engineers from near and far. We learned a ton about Collin's sophisticated mixing method, including a better understanding of how a mix template can work in your home studio and a deep dive into RX and how it can improve your mixes. Collin has been a guest on the podcast in episodes RSR252, RSR341 and RSR404.

Zebras sind klassische Charaktertiere vieler Zoos. Der individuelle Strichcode ihres Fells macht sie unverwechselbar. Es sind sehr friedliche Tiere, abgesehen von Phasen der Leidenschaft. Ausgerechnet da wird's ruppig.

Despite it being such a normalized part of modern society, aquariums and zoos have to be thoughtful in the way they use social media. It can be a double-edged sword.

After years working for Merlin Entertainments building and renovating major aquariums, architect Benedikt Schikora founded  BSK Projects which handles project management in the hospitality, entertainment and tourism space. He's also a partner in the zoo and aquarium consulting firm, IZACS. We discuss the trends in zoological design, particularly those back of house aspects of animal care that have historically lagged behind today's modern, more enriching public display exhibits. One of the biggest challenges according to Benedikt is working across the many stakeholder groups from owners, curators, caregivers, and guests, while ensuring the well-being and safety of the animals.

On today's show: Franz Joseph's salons are final touches in Prague's Art-Nouveau train station overhaul; Staroměstská, Old Town's metro station, to be shut for one month after young men cause fire; and, for our feature, we are continuing in our series on Zoos in Czechia. Today, Dvůr Králové Safari Park: A slice of Africa in Czechia. We hope you enjoy!

This week, we're not holding back. First up: zoos — conservation havens or outdated institutions? We dive into the hot debate over whether zoos should still exist, the ethics behind animal captivity, and what it really means to protect wildlife in 2025. Then, we get a little spooky with a segment on reptile keeper nightmares — from escaped snakes to dog-sized salamanders! And to round it all out: are we dry shampoo girls? It's a surprisingly loaded question. We unpack the beauty standards, hygiene shortcuts, and the emotional rollercoaster of pretending we totally did wash our hair today.It's ethical dilemmas, reptile-induced anxiety, and dry shampoo discourse — all in one episode. Let's get into it.Get early access to episodes: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-wild-type-podcast/subscribeFollow the podcast: - https://www.instagram.com/thewildtypepodcast/- https://www.tiktok.com/@thewildtypepodcast- Merch: https://the-wild-type-podcast-llc-shop.fourthwall.com/Follow Neptune the Chameleon:- https://www.youtube.com/c/NeptunetheChameleon/- http://instagram.com/neptunethechameleon- https://tiktok.com/@neptunethechameleon- http://facebook.com/neptunethechameleon- https://www.neptunethechameleon.comFollow Lyssa's Lizards:- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmZaN6Q4yOt1j36J0-Ml6LQ- https://www.instagram.com/lyssaslizards- https://www.tiktok.com/@lyssaslizards- https://m.facebook.com/p/Lyssas-Lizards-100064470381677/- https://www.lyssaslizards.comSponsors:- https://www.pangeareptile.com/wildtype- https://scratchbycmtravels.com/- https://www.redlineshipping.com/- https://coldbloodedcaffeine.com/- https://symtonbsf.com/- https://palmstreet.app/- https://reptilekages.com/

It is unlikely that visitors ever give much thought to what medications might be onsite at their favorite aquarium or zoo or how they are used. The innovation of veterinarians should be celebrated and respected, as medications and healthcare are crucial to good animal care. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

Send us a text "World War Zoos: Humans and Other Animals in the Deadliest Conflict of the Modern Age." University of Chicago PressTo find our more about Michele McAloon: Your host.https://www.bookclues.comWhat happens to zoo animals when war breaks out? It's a question few of us consider, yet the answer reveals profound truths about humanity's moral compass. Professor John M. Kinder takes us on a haunting journey through World War II's forgotten captives in "World War Zoos: Humans and Other Animals in the Deadliest Conflict of the Modern Age." From pandas evacuated during the Pearl Harbor bombing to bears kept in Nazi concentration camps, these stories expose the complex relationship between humans and animals during humanity's darkest hours.The moral questions are unsettling: How do zookeepers justify feeding lions when people are starving? Which animals live and which die when resources grow scarce? The hard decisions made during wartime strip away the educational veneer of zoos, revealing raw calculations about which lives matter most. As Kender explains, "Zoos spend a lot of time creating hierarchies of which animals are more important than others... but the ultimate lesson they send is we care about people more than any animal."Particularly disturbing is the Nazis' weaponization of Germany's renowned zoological gardens. The "German Zoo" within Berlin's larger facility wasn't just an exhibition but a propaganda machine festooned with swastikas. Even more chilling was the Bear of Buchenwald, kept near concentration camp prisoners as a tool of dehumanization—a daily reminder that in Nazi ideology, camp inmates ranked below animals.These historical accounts remain urgently relevant today. As climate change threatens ecosystems and conflicts engulf regions with zoos, we must reconsider fundamental questions about animal captivity. Are traditional zoos justified in the 21st century? Is bringing back extinct species through backbreeding ethical when so many living species face extinction?Join us as we explore this overlooked chapter of history that challenges how we think about zoos, war, conservation, and our responsibility toward other species. Listen now and question your assumptions about our relationship with captive wildlife.

John Kinder is the director of American studies and a professor of history at Oklahoma State University. And he is an author. His most recent book is called World War Zoos: Humans and Other Animals in the Deadliest Conflict of the Modern Age. John's book tells a story most of us have never heard: what happened to the world's zoos—and the animals inside them—during World War II. It's a sweeping, deeply researched look at how zoos became sites of propaganda, patriotism, and survival, often at the expense of the animals themselves. But World War Zoos isn't just about the past. It's also a mirror, showing how many of the ethical blind spots that existed during wartime remain with us today. In an age of climate crisis and mass extinction, this conversation asks: what do zoos really stand for—and who are they really serving?      

John M. Kinder is director of American Studies, professor of history at Oklahoma State University and author of the new book, World War Zoos: Humans and Other Animals in the Deadliest Conflict of the Modern Age. He chronicles the horrific effects of war on zoos throughout Europe, the US and the South Pacific and the sometimes heroic efforts by keepers and the public to preserve their animal charges even in times of scarcity and personal starvation. Zoos that were spared bombing still had to wrestle with difficult questions such as which animals should be euthanized when food supplies were low? Or which should be killed to prevent the escape of dangerous animals? Kinder examines the era from the Great Depression through the Cold War and its cumulative effects resulting in the zoological institutions and some of the policies we see today. Animal Care Software
