摘要

人与动物的关系已经被证明对动物和饲养员的福利有影响,尽管它们对动物园饲养员的影响在评估工作满意度之外的研究较少。许多动物机构都积极支持员工的保护倡议,但目前动物园管理员参与支持保护行为的程度及其背后的动机却很少被研究。一些研究表明,一般来说,亲环境行动的动机可能包括与动物的移情联系。为了调查动物园管理员与动物关系与保护参与之间的联系,来自不同地点的144名动物园管理员参与了一项在线调查,回答了他们对自己所照顾的动物与动物关系的看法以及目前的保护参与水平。这项研究发现,与那些没有声称与动物有联系的动物园管理员相比,那些报告与他们所照顾的动物有联系的动物园管理员更有可能参与选择的保护行为,比如减少个人浪费。邦兹并没有预测到他们会参与更大的保护行动,比如栖息地恢复或公民科学参与。这些发现对动物园如何鼓励员工参与保护行为和参与具有启示意义。

Zookeeper–Animal Bonds and Their Relationship with Conservation Action
Human–animal relationships have been demonstrated to have impacts on animal and keeper welfare, although their impacts on zookeepers have been less studied outside of evaluating job satisfaction. Many zoological facilities are active in supporting conservation initiatives among staff, but current levels of zookeeper engagement in pro-conservation behavior and the motivations behind it are less studied. Some research indicates motivations for pro-environmental action, in general, may include empathetic connections with animals. To investigate connections between zookeeper–animal relationships and conservation participation, 144 zookeepers from various locations participated in an online survey responding to questions about their perception of their relationships with the animals in their care and current conservation participation levels. This study found zookeepers who report bonds with the animals in their care are more likely to participate in select conservation behaviors, such as reducing personal waste, than those who do not claim a bond with animals. Bonds did not predict involvement in larger conservation actions such as habitat restoration or citizen science participation. These findings have implications for how zoos might encourage engagement in pro-conservation behaviors and participation among their staff.
