摘要

COVID-19 大流行后不久,几乎所有的动物园和水族馆协会(AZA)设施都对公众关闭。由于采取了节约成本和安全措施,一些设施暂时停止或减少了动物繁殖和/或转移。我们对 AZA 设施和 AZA 合作种群管理计划的物种生存计划 (SSP) 协调员进行了调查,以评估这些决定的普遍性,不同类群所受影响是否不同,以及 AZA 社区在大流行期间如何应对相关挑战。我们发现,60%做出回应的动物园没有暂停繁殖,22%没有暂停转移。约有 50%的动物园增加了对地面运输方式的依赖,而水族馆则表示没有改变运输方式。SSP 协调员报告称,无论哪个类群,繁殖量减少的主要原因都是转移被取消或延迟。转运次数减少的原因因分类群而异,如财政资源有限和缺乏航空运输。两次调查的大多数受访者都表示,转移是他们面临的最大挑战。为解决这一问题,动物园采用了其他运输方式,并与附近的动物园和水族馆密切合作,以调运动物,而 SSP 协调员则提出了其他调运建议。如果再次发生大流行病或其他大范围的设施关闭,我们的研究强调了沟通、合作和灵活性的重要性,以实现繁殖和转移建议,维持动物园和水族馆种群的可持续发展。

Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on population management in AZA.

Soon after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, almost all Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) facilities closed to the public. Resulting cost-saving and safety measures led some facilities to temporarily cease or reduce animal breeding and/or transfers. We surveyed AZA facilities and Species Survival Plan® (SSP) Coordinators for AZA's cooperative population management programs to evaluate how widespread these decisions were, if impacts varied by taxa, and how the AZA community navigated related challenges during the pandemic. We found that 60% of responding facilities did not suspend breeding and 22% did not suspend transfers. About 50% of responding zoos increased their reliance on ground transportation to move animals, while aquariums reported no change to transportation methods. SSP Coordinators reported the main reason why breeding decreased, regardless of taxa, was due to canceled or delayed transfers. The reasons transfers decreased differed by taxa, such as limited financial resources and lack of access to air transportation. The majority of respondents for both surveys stated transfers were the greatest challenge they faced. To address this, facilities utilized alternative transportation methods and worked closely with nearby zoos and aquariums for the movement of animals, while SSP Coordinators issued alternative transfer recommendations. If another pandemic or other widespread facility closure occurs, our research highlights the importance of communication, collaboration, and flexibility to fulfill breeding and transfer recommendations to maintain sustainable zoo and aquarium populations.

期刊介绍: Zoo Biology is concerned with reproduction, demographics, genetics, behavior, medicine, husbandry, nutrition, conservation and all empirical aspects of the exhibition and maintenance of wild animals in wildlife parks, zoos, and aquariums. This diverse journal offers a forum for effectively communicating scientific findings, original ideas, and critical thinking related to the role of wildlife collections and their unique contribution to conservation.
