Abstract

An intense public debate has fuelled governmental bans on marine mammals held in zoological institutions. The debate rests on the assumption that survival in zoological institutions has been and remains lower than in the wild, albeit the scientific evidence in support of this notion is equivocal. Here, we used statistical methods previously applied to assess historical improvements in human lifespan and data on 8864 individuals of four marine mammal species (harbour seal, Phoca vitulina; California sea lion, Zalophus californianus; polar bear, Ursus maritimus; common bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus) held in zoos from 1829 to 2020. We found that life expectancy increased up to 3.40 times, and first-year mortality declined up to 31%, during the last century in zoos. Moreover, the life expectancy of animals in zoos is currently 1.65-3.55 times longer than their wild counterparts. Like humans, these improvements have occurred concurrently with advances in management practices, crucial for population welfare. Science-based decisions will help effective legislative changes and ensure better implementation of animal care.

Abstract

The article offers information on the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) which has been establishing conservation campaigns for various species such as rhinos, tigers, and European Carnivores. It discusses the new campaign called "Pole to Pole" that aims to create awareness and initiate behavioral change for the Poles and its polar species. It also talks about the possible involvement of the American Zoo Association, leading by example, and the reduction of CO2 emissions.
