Changing the Approach to Caring for Ambassador Animals
Here at Lincoln Park Zoo we believe in data-informed decision making and putting animal welfare first. After evaluating several of our programs over the last few years with the help of the Animal Welfare Science Program, Animal Care, and Learning departments, the zoo is making “animal-first” changes to programming that involves ambassador animals.
