The graph below indicatesAdelaide and Monarto Zoos’ data quality in correlation withthe ISIS global database, as of 1 May, 2011. Both Adelaideand Monarto Zoo are in the ISIS Top 50 Champions of DataQuality. The animals at Warrawong Wildlife Sanctuaryare currently being entered into a third ARKS database,maintained at Monarto Zoo, and will assist with theeffective management of this animal collection.10080604020Transactionlink rateParentvalidation rateData reconciledwith globalstudbooksStudbooksreconciled withglobal dataAdelaide ZooMonarto ZooRegional averageIn 2010, Adelaide Zoo and Monarto Zoo joined 16 otherinstitutions world-wide as early adopters for a new animalmanagement database. ZIMS (Zoological InformationManagement System) is a global, on-line, real-time databasethat will eventually incorporate the functions of currentprograms ARKS, SPARKS, MedARKS and REGASP, plusmore. ZIMS went ‘live’ at Zoos SA properties on 2 June,2010, however after three months, it was determined thatZIMS could not yet meet our operational requirements, andARKS was re-instated as the primary animal database atAdelaide and Monarto Zoos. However, we continue to assistISIS in their development of ZIMS. Furthermore, we are inthe process of transferring our daily recording process frompaper records to electronic records. This should allow for aneasier transition when ZIMS does eventually come on board(and contribute to saving significant amounts of paper).There are currently four keepers maintaining five ASMPstudbooks at Zoos South Australia. A further five speciesmanaged by the Collection Development Team bring thetotal studbooks or species programs held through Zoos SA toten (Appendix 4). Recovery team studbooks are maintainedby Lindell Andrews (Victorian brush-tailed rock wallaby) andMick Post (SA black-flanked rock wallaby). Despite a dropin the number of studbooks held by Zoos SA, Adelaide andMonarto Zoos still demonstrate a significant contribution tothe managed programs of the Australasian region (additionalstudbooks completed by Lindell Andrews and Mick Post arenot reflected under Adelaide Zoo in figure below).ZAA NZZAA AustraliaWellingtnVacantTerritorySydneyPukaha Mt.

The progress of each program isevaluated through an ASMP Health Check Report, whichlooks at the administration, science and legislation for eachspecies, resulting in an overall score. The results of theHealth Check Report allow the Association to monitor theperformance of ASMP programs, and to better understandthe skills and expertise required to deliver the desiredoutcomes. The results are directly fed into the TAG structure,and also collected into the annual Director’s ExecutiveSummary.4020Attempt.Recs. 2005Complete.Recs. 2005Attempt.Recs. 2006Complete.Recs. 2006Attempt.Recs. 2007Complete.Recs. 2007Attempt.Recs. 2008Complete.Recs. 2008Attempt.Recs. 2009Complete.Recs. 2009Wild TimesImplementation ratesFinalsIn the graphs opposite, the ‘Recommendations Attempted’indicate the percentage of recommendations that wereattempted, whether successful or not. ‘RecommendationsCompleted’ indicate the percentage implemented successfully(data from ZAA). Breeding and transfer recommendationsmay not be successful for reasons beyond the control ofindividual zoos, and be regulatory, biological or expertiserelated.These tend to vary considerably between taxa.Results have also been shown for the past four yearsfor comparison.Living Collections – Status Of Collection – 16 of 16
