Episode #116: How Zoos Are Dealing with The Coronavirus

Zoos and Coronavirus.JPG

In this episode, I interview Andie Haugen, an animal trainer and educator from the Cincinnati Zoo. Andie discusses what the zoo is doing during the shutdown due to the Coronavirus. She covers how the animals are doing, the difficult measures zoos are facing during this time, and positive words of encouragement to those who have been laid off. She also goes into details on how the zoo is enriching their animals and taking advantage of an “empty zoo”. Andie also discusses AZA’s emergency economic relief plan and how zoos are trying to raise money for their animals.
