| 3 pillars of Raptor Rehab Project | Rehabilitation, Education, Medical Knowledge |
| Rehabilitation pillar | Care for and release birds of prey in their care |
| Education pillar | Teach people why birds of prey are so important |
| Medical knowledge pillar | There is not a lot of research over raptors, so doing some will help a lot in the long run |
| General timeline for birds in Raptor Rehab Project | Brought into vet clinic, assessed and treated by vet team, released to rehab, returned to the wild |
| How does the Raptor Rehab Project manage birds for release? | Give appropriate diet, keep up with proper housing, exercise, behavioral monitoring, low human contact, stress reduction |
| Why might a bird not be able to be released? | Imprinting, severe injuries |
| What happens if a bird can't be released? | It is assessed to see if it could be a educational ambassador |
| What must be considered before a bird becomes and educational ambassador? | Quality of life in human care, species temperament in captivity, individual temperament, housing requirements, can the bird safely be around humans, welfare of bird |
| Differences in primary focus of rehab centers, zoos, and conservation breeding | Rehab centers go case to case, zoos are collection/population focused, and conservation breeding is concerned about sustainable populations |
| Differences in goals of rehab centers, zoos, and conservation breeding | Rehab centers want animals out of their facilities, zoos want long-term care and education, conservation breeding wants reproduction and sustainability |
| Differences in animals managed in rehab centers, zoos, and conservation breeding | Rehab center animals come in injured, zoos and conservation breeding have selective and managed collection |
| Differences in time in care in rehab centers, zoos, and conservation breeding | Rehab center animals are temporary, zoos and conservation breeding are long term |
| Rehab center management question | Can this animal return to the wild? |
| Zoo management question | How do we provide lifelong welfare? |
| Conservation breeding management question | How do we maintain a viable population? |
| Why is zoo education such a valuable tool in conservation? | Zoos have visitors, so they can reach more people |
| Why is growing empathy so important? | People are more likely to help a cause they care about and empathy will make them more receptive to it |
| What does "meet your audience where they are" mean? | Reach out to your audience in a way that they receive the message naturally without it becoming heavy-handed |
| 3 steps in a conservation education program | Connect, discover, act |
| Largest and easiest step in conservation education and why | Connect, most people just come to the zoo for an experience so it is easiest to provide them with that |
| Most difficult step in conservation education and why? | Act, need people to care and also have the time and resources to do something meaningful |
| What are examples of connecting visitors? | Community outreach and presence, early learning programs, interactive opportunities, exposure to nature, immersion experiences, recreation and leisure |
| Animal Ambassadors | Animals that are allowed to leave their homes and be around people in various outdoor places to give them positive interactive experiences |
| Docent | Volunteers who present biofacts to people to increase interactions |
| What are examples of encouraging discovery in visitors? | Experts and resources, signage, educator-led programs |
| What are examples of encouraging act in visitors? | Field projects, green initiatives and sustainable business practices, supporting partnerships, empowering the community, volunteerism, providing paths to behavioral change |
| Biofacts | A part of an animal people can pick up and interact with |
| How are biofacts used? | To let people get better connections with the animals and steer the conversations |
| How do zoos incorporate sustainability into designs? | Sustainable building practices, recycling, cutting down on single-use plastics |
| Why does sustainability matter in zoos? | Zoos are very focused on conservation and it gives them a chance to walk the walk |
| Why is it so important for zoos to offer a variety of educational programs? | So they can reach the most amount of people possible at various ages and include teachers, who can reach more than the people at the zoo |
| Name the challenges in a call to conservation | Alignment in goals, politics and media, access and opportunity, prioritization of spending, loss of connection with nature |
| Explain how an alignment in goals affects a call to conservation | Conservation programs around the world sometimes have to make the choice between conservation and human-animal coexistence and survival |
| Explain how politics and media affect a call to conservation | Some people don't believe in climate change, which makes it harder to get the message across |
| Explain how access and opportunity affect a call to conservation | Some people don't live in areas where they have the opportunity to participate in conservation |
| Explain how prioritization of spending affects a call to conservation | People can't always afford to buy sustainable options |
| Explain how loss of connection of nature affects a call to conservation | People who are always on their phones and electronics don't care about what happens in nature |
