The Fellowship ProgramTo obtain the relevant information, the following activities will be undertaken during thecourse of the Fellowship:• Obtain information on the general principles and requirements for successfully managingconservation programs, along with design, implementation methods and long-termmanagement strategies.• Explore project models and principles that have been developed and implemented,and evaluate their results.• Investigate a variety of habitat conservation methods.These objectives will be achieved by:• Meeting with project coordinators and field managers.• Visiting a broad range of projects in South East Asia.• Gaining practical skills working with projects.
The Australian ContextAustralia currently addresses wildlife conservation through a range of processes, including:• Protecting habitat through designation and management of national parks and reserves.• Endangered Species Recovery Programs, eg: Helmeted Honeyeater and Brush-tailedRock Wallaby.• Environmental planning legislation.Zoos in western developed countries, such as Australia, have come a long way from thetime when they contributed to the removal of species from the wild for public display andentertainment. Zoos now play an important role in conservation and this is seen as a keygoal of the zoo industry in many parts of the world.Achim Steiner, previous Director General of the IUCN, The World Conservation Union, isquoted in the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) Conservation Strategy:“The critical role of zoos and aquariums within conservation is more important thanever. Zoos and aquariums are in a unique position: that of providing conservationin a genuinely integrated way. For the young people of the world’s cities, zoos andaquariums are often the first contact with nature and so you are the incubator of theconservationists of tomorrow. The research you conduct is vital to our understandingof the components of biodiversity and their interactions.The public awareness campaigns and communication programmes you oversee arecritical in making the general public understand both the utilitarian and the aestheticimportance of nature. Your efforts to build capacity, and transfer technology to colleaguesin other parts of the world, will ensure the longer term contribution of zoos and aquariumsto biodiversity conservation, while also fostering a spirit of collaboration and cooperationmuch needed in our troubled world. Finally, the financial support that you gather forconservation in the field will demonstrate the commitment of urban populations tomaintaining the wild areas of the Earth.”Many zoos now support conservation programs for species that they hold in their collectionsvia captive animal management, through direct financial assistance or technical fieldsupport.However, confusion persists within the zoo industry over how to best contribute meaningfullyto conservation. Few zoos in this region have developed strategies for directing theirconservation efforts and actions.Zoos Victoria’s (ZV) Conservation Strategy is currently the only such document in thisregion to guide a zoo’s involvement in conservation. The overall goal of the Strategy is tomaximise ZV’s capacity and opportunities to deliver meaningful and tangible conservationoutcomes. It will do this by:• Contributing directly to achieving tangible biodiversity conservation outcomes throughdirect involvement in, and support for field conservation programs, both within Australiaand internationally.• Assisting communities to take informed action to conserve the natural world – eitherindirectly or directly, both within Australia and internationally.• Taking our informed action to conserve the natural world – On-site habitat managementand conservation; environmentally sustainable management; and retail and cateringactivities.
