The intent of this maverick publication was to stimulate the AAZK membership to become more active and participate in the Association at a national level.\r\n\r\nThe idea for Animal Keepers\' Forum grew out of a bull session among keepers at the Topeka Zoo. The original Ruptured Rhino staff, along with several others, were involved in the conception and production of the<strong> first issue of AKF in November of 1974</strong>. It was 3 1/2 pages long, and printed on a mimeograph-type machine. Early issues contained zoo news articles, items on legislation and guest editorials.\r\n\r\nBy June of 1975 the AKF had grown to 13 pages and in November of 1975 celebrated its first anniversary of continuous publication. After the first two issues, it was sold on a subscription basis at $5.00 per year. Although originally the AKF was sold to AAZK members, it didn\'t become the "official" professional journal of the Association until March of 1975. The AKF has always carried the motto "Dedicated to Professional Animal Care".\r\n\r\nIn January 1976, AKF changed its format to a booklet style publication. In 1977 AKF had its first part-time paid editor and also began to be printed commercially. In 1978 the buff colored cover featuring artwork by keepers debuted. The first Excellence in Journalism Awards were given in 1979.\r\n\r\nIn 1981 Susan Chan was hired as Managing Editor for Animal Keepers’ Forum. The AKF has continued to grow in scope and content since that time, now averaging 44 pages per issue.  At least once a year, an issue dedicated to a particular species or topic is produced. AKF contains regular columns on Animal Behavior, Enrichment Options, Crisis Management and legislative issues affecting wildlife and zoos. Each issue also contains articles on animal husbandry, book reviews, a listing of upcoming conferences and symposia and Association news.\r\n\r\nThe Animal Keepers\' Forum has come a long way since its inception when it was printed on a mimeograph machine to today when it is produced with modern desktop publishing computer equipment. It currently reaches approximately <strong>2800 members (including about 150 zoos) in the U.S., Canada and 24 foreign countries</strong>.\r\n\r\nAnimal Keepers’ Forum is celebrating its 40th anniversary of continuous publication this year (2013).\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n<h4>Submissions</h4>\r\nIf you are interested in submitting a paper for publication Animal Keepers’ Forum, please view the <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/publications/animal-keepers-forum/akf-submission-guidelines/">AKF Submission Guidelines</a> page for guidelines on how to submit your article.\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n<h4>Purchase a copy</h4>\r\nTo purchase a hard copy of the Animal Keepers’ Forum publication, please visit our <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/shop/">store</a>.', 'Animal Keepers\' Forum', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4538-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-05-21 09:59:34', '2014-05-21 14:59:34', '', 4538, 'https://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/4538-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

The intent of this maverick publication was to stimulate the AAZK membership to become more active and participate in the Association at a national level.\r\n\r\nThe idea for Animal Keepers\' Forum grew out of a bull session among keepers at the Topeka Zoo. The original Ruptured Rhino staff, along with several others, were involved in the conception and production of the<strong> first issue of AKF in November of 1974</strong>. It was 3 1/2 pages long, and printed on a mimeograph-type machine. Early issues contained zoo news articles, items on legislation and guest editorials.\r\n\r\nBy June of 1975 the AKF had grown to 13 pages and in November of 1975 celebrated its first anniversary of continuous publication. After the first two issues, it was sold on a subscription basis at $5.00 per year. Although originally the AKF was sold to AAZK members, it didn\'t become the "official" professional journal of the Association until March of 1975. The AKF has always carried the motto "Dedicated to Professional Animal Care".\r\n\r\nIn January 1976, AKF changed its format to a booklet style publication. In 1977 AKF had its first part-time paid editor and also began to be printed commercially. In 1978 the buff colored cover featuring artwork by keepers debuted. The first Excellence in Journalism Awards were given in 1979.\r\n\r\nIn 1981 Susan Chan was hired as Managing Editor for Animal Keepers’ Forum. The AKF has continued to grow in scope and content since that time, now averaging 44 pages per issue.  At least once a year, an issue dedicated to a particular species or topic is produced. AKF contains regular columns on Animal Behavior, Enrichment Options, Crisis Management and legislative issues affecting wildlife and zoos. Each issue also contains articles on animal husbandry, book reviews, a listing of upcoming conferences and symposia and Association news.\r\n\r\nThe Animal Keepers\' Forum has come a long way since its inception when it was printed on a mimeograph machine to today when it is produced with modern desktop publishing computer equipment. It currently reaches approximately <strong>2800 members (including about 150 zoos) in the U.S., Canada and 24 foreign countries</strong>.\r\n\r\nAnimal Keepers’ Forum is celebrating its 40th anniversary of continuous publication this year (2013).\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n<h4>Submissions</h4>\r\nIf you are interested in submitting a paper for publication Animal Keepers’ Forum, please view the <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/publications/animal-keepers-forum/akf-submission-guidelines/">AKF Submission Guidelines</a> page for guidelines on how to submit your article.\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n<h4>Purchase a copy</h4>\r\nTo purchase a hard copy of the Animal Keepers’ Forum publication, please visit our <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/shop/">store</a>.', 'Animal Keepers\' Forum', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4538-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-06-09 11:44:35', '2014-06-09 16:44:35', '', 4538, 'https://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/4538-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

Experience Guides have the unique pleasure of staffing the only walk-through squirrel monkey exhibit in the United States, allowing guests to walk into an open exhibit where squirrel monkeys scamper through bushes and trees just inches away.

BFR events across North America raise over $400,000 annually. <strong><em>Recruiting additional partners and events will help AAZK to reach our goal of $500,000 every year.</em></strong>\r\n\r\nAAZK realized that the zoo keepers of the world were extremely conservation oriented and wanted to help save rhinos and their habitats, yet did not have the financial resources themselves to make any significant impact. That\'s when the idea came to start a national bowl-a-thon called Bowling For Rhinos.\r\n\r\nIn 1990, AAZK began by supporting the <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/bowling-for-rhinos/lewa-wildlife-conservancy-lwc/">Lewa Wildlife Conservancy</a> (formerly Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary) in Kenya and has since expanded the program.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of the idea is that these fundraisers are organized by volunteers, who donate their time and organizational skills to help raise money to send directly to the places in need. Since all the people involved are volunteers, <strong>100% of all donations</strong> are sent directly to these in situ rhino conservation areas!\r\n<h4>Who does BFR support?</h4>\r\n<img class="alignleft" src="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/blackrhinos_004.jpg" alt="Black Rhinos" border="1" hspace="10" vspace="10" /> In Kenya, Africa, BFR supports the <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/bowling-for-rhinos/lewa-wildlife-conservancy-lwc/">Lewa Wildlife Conservancy</a> where our donations help protect both black and white rhinos and most of the other species native to East Africa.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignright" src="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/sumatranrhino1.jpg" alt="" /> In Indonesia BFR supports the remaining Javan Rhinos at Ujung Kulon National Park and the Sumatran Rhinos in Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kambas National Parks through the <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/bowling-for-rhinos/international-rhino-foundation-irf/">International Rhino Foundation</a>.\r\n\r\nBFR also supports <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/bowling-for-rhinos/action-for-cheetahs-in-kenya-ack/">Action for Cheetahs in Kenya</a>.
