How AZA zoos and aquariums are helping to fill the gap
Oldfield & Bonano (2024) identify significant gaps in scientific knowledge about certain animal taxa, such as reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and fish. Despite some efforts, published literature remains limited, forcing decision-makers to rely more on experiential knowledge than scientific evidence. AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums are uniquely positioned to bridge these gaps and advance animal welfare science by fostering collaboration, building partnerships, and promoting multi-disciplinary approaches to welfare assessments
Great White Sharks in Film and Life
This article contrasts the cultural impact of Jaws with modern shark science. It shows how tagging and ecological research correct myths, highlight conservation needs, and redefine great whites as essential predators
COP30: Follow-up & Outcomes
The COP30: Follow-up & Outcomes article from WellBeing International analyzes the results of the 30th UN Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil, focusing on the post-summit landscape of climate commitments, financing frameworks, and implementation challenges. While reaffirmations of climate finance goals and updated Nationally Determined Contributions signal diplomatic continuity, the current collective pledges fall short of the emissions reductions necessary to limit global warming to 1.5 °C by 2035. The review examines the gap between political aspirations and on-the-ground action, outlines fiscal and governance mechanisms that will shape future climate negotiations, and emphasizes the importance of transparency, accountability, and multi-stakeholder engagement in advancing effective climate solutions
