BIAZA CPD Webinar - Close encounters of the zoo kind: Assessing visitor-animal experiences

Details

Taking place online at 6pm, this webinar will introduce BIAZA’s approach to Visitor Animal Experience (VAE) assessment and provide practical guidance on putting it into practice. We’ll explore what should be assessed, how to identify potential welfare risks and benefits, and how behavioural observations can help us understand an animal’s response before, during and after an experience.

Drawing on real examples from BIAZA collections, we’ll share lessons learned, practical solutions and simple changes that can improve animal choice, control and welfare while maintaining engaging and commercially viable visitor experiences. Whether you’re responsible for animal welfare, keeping teams, education, experiences or commercial operations, this session will help you approach VAE assessment as a practical tool for making good experiences even better.
