As the science of husbandry & management of wildlife under human care evolves, an increasing number of facilities are adopting behavior-based husbandry practices. Shifting caregiver focus to species-typical goals has been demonstrated to improve animals' overall wellbeing. Challenges often arise when husbandry or management practices evolve; examples may range from insufficient resources (i.e., time, staff) to shifting internal cultures.

This virtual one-day webinar will include a series of guest speakers discussing development of behavior-based husbandry and enrichment programs for bears, including ideas and methods to overcome various challenges.
