This month, we will be looking at choosing and establishing a cue, some of the common problems trainers may have experienced and how to resolve some of those issues.\r\n\r\nThink back on training sessions you have participated in or observed. Did you ever notice times when the animal just wasn\'t "getting" what it was the trainer was trying to teach them? Or that it takes 20 repeats of the cue to elicit the desired behavior?

These might be issues related to the cue.\r\n\r\n<p><img src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/yang-open.jpg" alt="yang-open" title="yang-open" width="514" height="400" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-649" /></p>\r\n\r\nA cue, or conditioned stimulus, is the signal that a trainer chooses to indicate that they want the subject to perform a particular behavior. It can be anything that the subject you are working with can perceive. The most commonly used cues are verbal commands (auditory) and hand signals (visual), but trainers have used light, odors, touch, music, vibration, tool, etc. The list of possible cues is limited only by the trainer\'s imagination, but based on physiology, animals may respond better to some cue stimuli than others. When establishing which cue is going to be associated with a desired behaviour, stop and think: is the cue distinct? Is it recognizable by the animal, from other cues being used by trainers, and from stimuli the animal is exposed to every day? For example, let\'s say you want to train an okapi to come in from the exhibit when you ring a bell. You want the bell to be the cue that means "come into the barn," but your okapi spend their day out on exhibit listening to the zoo train chug past, with the engineer ringing a bell randomly. The bell is likely going to lose effectiveness as a cue (if it ever works in this situation). The okapi would likely respond to sounds associated with the trainers themselves: doors opening, calling her along with the bell, etc. Be sure the cue is something unique, distinguishable from the environment and easily associated with the behavior you want to teach.\r\n\r\nLikewise, ensure that the different cues you use remain distinct from one another. When I first began working with the pandas at Zoo Atlanta several years ago, I began training them an "open mouth" behavior. I used the verbal cue "open" paired with my thumb and fingers being spread apart in front of their face. The training went well, though slower than I expected. I turned the behavior over to another keeper to help maintain it, and then we both began experiencing problems. We would  ask for "open" and often get a paw placed on the mesh instead. We would get frustrated, and the pandas even more so. It was a new, inexperienced keeper, unfamiliar with the training program, who caught what was happening. She asked one day if I meant for the end of the "open" cue (fingers spread apart from thumb) to look like the cue for "paw" (the trainer\'s hand presented in front of the panda as if we were telling them to "halt").  I stopped and looked at the cue from the bear\'s perspective, and lo, she was right. To the bear, they looked almost identical, with the trainer presenting essentially an open hand to them. We changed the "open" cue to just the thumb and forefinger spreading apart, and within a few weeks the behaviors were being presented as asked.\r\n\r\nIf you are having obvious confusion or frustration demonstrated from your training subject, take a step back and examine your cues.  Ask another keeper to watch your session to observe, specifically your cues and actions. Are you using two whistle blasts to signal something different from one blast? And what if the animal only hears one because of ambient noise? Or is not sure if it heard two or three? Keep the cue simple, within the animal\'s perception, and distinct.\r\n\r\nNow a bit about stimulus control. Stimulus control is when a stimulus (cue) increases the probability of a behavior occurring (conditioned response) because that behavior was historically strongly reinforced in the presence of the cue (AAZK/AZA, 2003: Stimulus Control – A behavior is said to be under stimulus control if it meets 3 conditions: 1) It is immediately offered following the SD; 2) It is offered only when preceded by the correct SD; 3) It is not offered in the presence of another SD.

Prior to 2004, Indie had no formal operant-conditioning training nor was she halter trained as a youngster. Instead, Indie was mother-reared amongst a large herd of females in a protected-contact setting. Indie is a dominant female at LPZ who is extremely food motivated. I used both of these factors to my advantage when I started her operant-conditioning program. </p>\r\n\r\n<p>In 2004, when I first met Indie, I began the process by feeding her carrots and conditioning her to get used to my presence. The formal operant-conditioning training started, in the fall of 2005, when I introduced her to the bridge. Within a few weeks after I introduced the bridge (whistle), Indie paired the bridge with food. She proved to be an eager participant in the operant-conditioning program.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Training Triumphs:</strong><br />\r\nThe stalls in the barn had horizontal oak boards with metal bar windows that give just a small access area for target training, which I felt was limiting Indie\'s training potential. After discussions with my managers, we installed a 2\' x 3\' [~ 0.6 x 0.9m] heavy-duty nylon net, known as a horse stall guard, across the stall door opening. This allowed Indie\'s head and neck to be more exposed for tactile desensitization (i.e. palpating, grooming, checking eyes/ears) when the stall door was opened while inhibiting her from exiting the stall. Additionally, it was determined that it would be best for me to enter the stall to work with Indie (with another keeper present for safety) when she was laying down sternally with all four of her feet tucked underneath her body. This position is referred to as a cush in the camelid world.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Indie responded well to me entering her stall since animal keepers in the past had gone in with her in this position. However, since she had a tendency to be a bit assertive in a cush, I decided it was best to only give the primary reinforcer, food, at the end of the cush session. During the cush session, I used a secondary reinforcer of tactile scratches/ brushing to reward her. In the new protected-contact setup Indie\'s training flourished and evolved. It even included desensitizing her to a wearing a pink halter.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><img src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/camel.jpg" alt="camel" title="camel" width="522" height="377" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-642" /></p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Whos Training Who:</strong><br />\r\nSo the training went on…until, one morning this past fall, I shifted the camels inside from their overnight yard and noticed that Indie was in a cush within 10 minutes after eating her morning grain ration. Typically, she would cush in the stall, but not until 30–60 minutes after coming into the barn. I thought to myself, hmmmm, maybe she\'s just really eager to train today. So, I immediately reinforced her with her favorite fruits. At the moment, I realized that it might be possible to capture the cush behavior. </p>\r\n\r\n<p>Historically, the traditional way to train a domestic camel to cush involves roping their legs to forcefully encourage them down. This training typically happens when they are youngsters. For Indie, this was not a plausible option...</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Want to read the rest of this article?

It  now encompasses over 62,000 acres (250 sq. km.). The Craig/Douglas family first came to Lewa in 1922 and managed it as a cattle ranch for over 50 years. Unlike other ranchers in the area, they always valued the wildlife that shared the land and developed wildlife tourism as an additional activity. It was clear by the 1980\'s that the black rhino was unlikely to survive in northern Kenya. Poaching had reduced the black rhino\'s numbers from an estimated 20,000 animals in the mid-1970\'s to a few hundred by 1986. In 1983 the Craigs and Anna Merz - who funded the program - decided to establish the fenced and guarded Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary at the western end of Lewa. White rhinos were then added to the program after the black rhinos had settled down and established themselves. After ten years, it was clear that the rhinos needed more space, and the sanctuary was expanded to cover the rest of the ranch, and the adjoining Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve.\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n<h4>Wildlife on Lewa</h4>\r\n<img class="alignleft" title="Zebra" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_3593a-272x300.jpg" alt="Zebra" width="160" /> There is an abundance of wildlife on LWC.

It brought together two very different and yet very alike committees, The Animal Training and Enrichment Committees. These were joined at the request of the two individual committees.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The AAZK Enrichment Committee was founded in 1994 and The Animal Training Committee was founded in 2000. These specialized groups were organized to provide specific resources in the areas of  enrichment and training. The timeliness of their formation filled a growing  need for support as these aspects of animal care evolved into a daily part of husbandry.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Since the formation of these two  committees, most zoo professionals have found great success in utilizing both  training techniques and enrichment to solve behavioral challenges in captive animals. Many zoos now have a supportive "Behavioral Husbandry Department" or  staff that is dedicated to training, enrichment and animal welfare. Training and enrichment are no longer viewed necessarily as separate entities, but as two branches of behavioral management that are often used in concert. In our effort to stay current with the trends of professional zoo keeping, we have combined the two current committees into one AAZK, Inc. Behavioral Husbandry Committee. The focus of this committee would be training, enrichment and animal welfare.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Resources produced:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>ADTF, Animal Training Section (AAZK, 2001)</li>\r\n    <li>List of Training Terminology (AAZK/AZA Behavioral Advisory Group, 2003)</li>\r\n    <li>Training &amp; Enrichment Bibliography (AAZK ATC &amp; Enrichment Committees, 2001)</li>\r\n    <li>Training Workshops on Various Training Topics (AAZK National Conference Proceedings, 2001-2004)</li>\r\n    <li>Articles and Committee Updates (Animal Keeper\'s Forum)</li>\r\n    <li>www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk committee web pages (2002)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3>Projects:</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li>Partner with other committees to streamline resources and efforts</li>\r\n    <li>Development of new workshops for the annual conference</li>\r\n    <li>Development of training behavior lists for taxonomic groups</li>\r\n    <li>Update the bibliography and resource lists over time</li>\r\n    <li>Surveying the membership to meet needs</li>\r\n    <li>Enhancement of this website</li>\r\n    <li>A database of bibliographies </li>\r\n    <li> Enrichment guidelines for marine mammals and elephants </li>\r\n    <li> AAZK Enrichment Notebook, 2nd edition translation into Spanish, French and Chinese languages</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3>Additional Information</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n    <li><a href=\'/wp-content/uploads/what_is_animal_training.pdf\'>What is Training?</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href=\'/wp-content/uploads/health_and_safety_considerations.pdf\'>Health and Safety Considerations</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href=\'/wp-content/uploads/training_enrichment_bibliography.pdf\'>Training and Enrichment Bibliography</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href=\'/wp-content/uploads/training_terms_glossary.pdf\'>Glossary of Training Terms</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href=\'/wp-content/uploads/aazk_animal_data_transfer.pdf\'>Animal Data Transfer Form</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href="http://www.enrichment.org/miniwebfile.php?Region=Video_Library&NotFlag=1">Training and Enrichment Video Library</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href="/about/committee/behavioral-husbandry/resources/">Resources</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href=\'/wp-content/uploads/risk_assessment_and_safety.pdf\'>Risk Assessment and Safety</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href="/members/bhc.php">Suggested Guidelines for Enrichment</a> (Available only to AAZK Members!)</li>\r\n    <li><a href="/about/committee/behavioral-husbandry/printed-resources">Printed Resources</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href="/about/committee/behavioral-husbandry/suppliers/">Enrichment Suppliers</a></li>\r\n    <li><a href="/members/bhc.php">Enrichment Day Examples</a> (Available only to AAZK Members!)</li>\r\n    <li><a href="/about/committee/behavioral-husbandry/related-sites/">Related Sites</a></li>\r\n</ul>', 'Behavioral Husbandry', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '192-revision-v1', '', '', '2009-05-31 15:37:49', '2009-05-31 20:37:49', '', 192, 'http://aazk.org/uncategorized/192-revision-18/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

It encompasses over 62,000 acres (250 sq. km.). The Craig/Douglas family first came to Lewa in 1922 and managed it as a cattle ranch for over 50 years. Unlike other ranchers in the area, they always valued the wildlife that shared the land and developed wildlife tourism as an additional activity. It was clear by the 1980\'s that the black rhino was unlikely to survive in northern Kenya. Poaching had reduced the black rhino\'s numbers from an estimated 20,000 animals in the mid-1970\'s to a few hundred by 1986.

It encompasses over 62,000 acres (250 sq. km.). The Craig/Douglas family first came to Lewa in 1922 and managed it as a cattle ranch for over 50 years. Unlike other ranchers in the area, they always valued the wildlife that shared the land and developed wildlife tourism as an additional activity. It was clear by the 1980\'s that the black rhino was unlikely<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1012" title="img_6296a" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_6296a-300x200.jpg" alt="img_6296a" width="300" height="200" /> to survive in northern Kenya. Poaching had reduced the black rhino\'s numbers from an estimated 20,000 animals in the mid-1970\'s to a few hundred by 1986. In                      1983 the Craigs and Anna Merz  - who funded the program - decided to establish                      the fenced and guarded Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary at the                      western end of Lewa. White rhinos were then added to the program after the black rhinos had settled down and established themselves. After ten years, it was clear that the rhinos                      needed more space, and the sanctuary was expanded to cover                      the rest of the ranch, and the adjoining <span class="kawatextlinks">Ngare                      Ndare Forest Reserve</span>.</p>\r\n<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Wildlife on Lewa</strong></p>\r\n<p style="text-align: left;">There is an abundance of wildlife on LWC.

If you need to purchase items, shop at Goodwill or another local second-hand store. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Reuse your treat collector!</strong> Find a sturdy reusable bag, second-hand plastic jack o\'latern or build your own to use year after year. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Walk instead of drive!</strong> Enjoy the night and save on gas and pollution. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Buy PALM OIL FREE and/or organic treats!</strong> Check ingredient labels before buying at your local grocery stores. Try to look for minimal packaging if possible. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Get the most out of your pumpkin!</strong> Not only are they good for decoration, but also pumpkins can be composted to aide with garden growth. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Use black and orange CFL bulbs or LED\'s!</strong></li>\r\n	<li><strong>Decorate your house with recycled items!</strong> Hit up second hand stores, your own trash and recycling, or the dump and be creative to make your house look spooky and scary. </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3>Decorating with GREENERY</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Decorate with nature!</strong> Use organic flowers or seasonal flowers such as hyacinth, mimosa, narcissus, amaryllis and poinsettias. Make centerpieces from twigs, squash, acorn, apples, and leaves. Use real evergreen swags, garlands, and wreaths. Create accents with dried berries, twigs, small logs, fresh fruits and nuts. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Create natural napkin rings!</strong> Tie napkins with raffia and tuck in some cinnamon sticks – guests can dip cinnamon sticks in hot apple cider later. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Reuse and repurpose!</strong> Save all of your old decorations for the next year or get creative and make them into brand new decorations. Or go vintage and buy decorations from consignment stores, thrift shops, and antique stores, or buy homemade from craft bazaars. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Get a real tree!</strong> (Unless you already have a fake one, then keep using that one) Real trees are grown in farms to be cut and are replaced. Fake trees are filled with plastic, PVC, and harsh chemicals. They release toxic gases when they are new and cannot be recycled. Real tree can be recycled but make sure they are from a pesticide-free farm. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Use LED lights!</strong> They use 80% less energy and last about 20 years. In one year, you should make back the extra money you paid in energy savings. For outdoor lighting use solar powered LED light strands. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Light candles made of soy and beeswax!</strong> They are renewable and sustainable, burn clean and are better for you. Traditional candles are made from paraffin wax which is petroleum based. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Make your own decorations!</strong> Try popcorn or berry garlands, flour dough ornaments or other edible decorations. Repose unwanted items to make new ornaments. </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3>Give some GREEN this holiday</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Think ahead!</strong>  Plan your holiday gift giving ideas starting December 26th the year before. That way you can buy your gifts all year long without make special trips at the last minute. Keep this in mind during summer festivals, garage sales, and craft shows. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Make it yourself!</strong>  Make use of your artistic talents by knitting, baking, or painting to make your gifts. If you are artistically challenged give a gift of your services such as babysitting, massages, or snow-shoveling. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Shop locally!</strong>  Supporting locally owned stores not only helps your local economy but also helps to cut down on waste caused by shipping products across the world. Look for local shops that support local artisans and craftsmen. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Buy/give recycled!</strong>  Look for items made of recycled materials. Shop at Goodwill, flea markets, and garage sales for treasures. Remember it is OKAY to re-gift, especially when you know the recipient will really enjoy the gift!</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Scrap the idea of driving from mall to mall multiple times and the pile-up of paper wasting catalogs!</strong>  Visit <a href="http://www.catalogchoice.org">www.catalogchoice.org</a> - This is a free service that lets you reduce unwanted mail and choose the brands you want to hear from by requesting electronic catalogues. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Buy gifts that will get used!</strong>  Find gifts that the recipient will want and not ones that will go to waste or get thrown away. When in doubt, gift cards to local shops and restaurants are a good choice and many can be personalized or paired with a homemade card or craft. Or buy a consumable gift such as tea, fair trade coffee, or homemade jellies. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Shop with an earth-conscious attitude!</strong>  Support stores that make an effort to be environmentally conscious and those that support environmental and social causes.

So relax, have a great AND GREEN holiday season.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Scream GREEN on Halloween!</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>BYOC (Build Your Own Costume)!</strong> Use old clothes and household items to construct a creative and original costume. If you need to purchase items, shop at Goodwill or another local second-hand store. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Reuse your treat collector!</strong> Find a sturdy reusable bag, second-hand plastic jack o\'latern or build your own to use year after year. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Walk instead of drive!</strong> Enjoy the night and save on gas and pollution. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Buy PALM OIL FREE and/or organic treats!</strong> Check ingredient labels before buying at your local grocery stores. Try to look for minimal packaging if possible. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Get the most out of your pumpkin!</strong> Not only are they good for decoration, but also pumpkins can be composted to aide with garden growth. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Use black and orange CFL bulbs or LED\'s!</strong></li>\r\n	<li><strong>Decorate your house with recycled items!</strong> Hit up second hand stores, your own trash and recycling, or the dump and be creative to make your house look spooky and scary. </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3>Decorating with GREENERY</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Decorate with nature!</strong> Use organic flowers or seasonal flowers such as hyacinth, mimosa, narcissus, amaryllis and poinsettias. Make centerpieces from twigs, squash, acorn, apples, and leaves. Use real evergreen swags, garlands, and wreaths. Create accents with dried berries, twigs, small logs, fresh fruits and nuts. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Create natural napkin rings!</strong> Tie napkins with raffia and tuck in some cinnamon sticks – guests can dip cinnamon sticks in hot apple cider later. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Reuse and repurpose!</strong> Save all of your old decorations for the next year or get creative and make them into brand new decorations. Or go vintage and buy decorations from consignment stores, thrift shops, and antique stores, or buy homemade from craft bazaars. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Get a real tree!</strong> (Unless you already have a fake one, then keep using that one) Real trees are grown in farms to be cut and are replaced. Fake trees are filled with plastic, PVC, and harsh chemicals. They release toxic gases when they are new and cannot be recycled. Real tree can be recycled but make sure they are from a pesticide-free farm. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Use LED lights!</strong> They use 80% less energy and last about 20 years. In one year, you should make back the extra money you paid in energy savings. For outdoor lighting use solar powered LED light strands. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Light candles made of soy and beeswax!</strong> They are renewable and sustainable, burn clean and are better for you. Traditional candles are made from paraffin wax which is petroleum based. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Make your own decorations!</strong> Try popcorn or berry garlands, flour dough ornaments or other edible decorations. Repose unwanted items to make new ornaments. </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h3>Give some GREEN this holiday</h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Think ahead!</strong>  Plan your holiday gift giving ideas starting December 26th the year before. That way you can buy your gifts all year long without make special trips at the last minute. Keep this in mind during summer festivals, garage sales, and craft shows. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Make it yourself!</strong>  Make use of your artistic talents by knitting, baking, or painting to make your gifts. If you are artistically challenged give a gift of your services such as babysitting, massages, or snow-shoveling. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Shop locally!</strong>  Supporting locally owned stores not only helps your local economy but also helps to cut down on waste caused by shipping products across the world. Look for local shops that support local artisans and craftsmen. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Buy/give recycled!</strong>  Look for items made of recycled materials. Shop at Goodwill, flea markets, and garage sales for treasures. Remember it is OKAY to re-gift, especially when you know the recipient will really enjoy the gift!</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Scrap the idea of driving from mall to mall multiple times and the pile-up of paper wasting catalogs!</strong>  Visit <a href="http://www.catalogchoice.org">www.catalogchoice.org</a> - This is a free service that lets you reduce unwanted mail and choose the brands you want to hear from by requesting electronic catalogues. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Buy gifts that will get used!</strong>  Find gifts that the recipient will want and not ones that will go to waste or get thrown away. When in doubt, gift cards to local shops and restaurants are a good choice and many can be personalized or paired with a homemade card or craft. Or buy a consumable gift such as tea, fair trade coffee, or homemade jellies. </li>\r\n	<li><strong>Shop with an earth-conscious attitude!</strong>  Support stores that make an effort to be environmentally conscious and those that support environmental and social causes. Pay attention to packaging. Look for items that are minimally packaged, organic and made in the United States. Visit <a href="http://treehugger.com">treehugger.com</a>, <a href="http://planetgreen.discovery.com">planetgreen.discovery.com</a>, <a href="http://www.ecoexpress.com">www.ecoexpress.com</a>, <a href="http://www.eco-artware.com">www.eco-artware.com</a> and <a href="http://green.yahoo.com/gift-guide">green.yahoo.com/gift-guide</a> for lists of items, stores and companies that offer green gifts. </li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>Support environmental causes this holiday! Give the gift that gives to others. Buy gifts...</p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Want to read the rest of this column?

The National Park and the police are the two bodies responsible for preparation of a case and formally charging suspects.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Proactive poaching prevention is the main objective. RPU patrols, deployed for ~15 days in the rainforest per month per Unit, increase the risks for potential poachers, while decreasing chances for a good \'take\'. This deterrent has worked well over the past years, and once an area is regularly patrolled, normally no more poaching is detected and all other wildlife indirectly benefits from the presence of the RPUs. RPUs also record data on rhino sightings, footprints and other spoor, which is entered into a central database.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Sumatran Rhinos</h3>\r\n<p><em>Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park</em> (BBS) in Sumatra, Indonesia, is one of the highest priority areas for Sumatran megafauna. Approximately 50-70 rhino, 40-50 tigers, and about 500 elephants inhabit the Park. RPUs have been operating in BBS since 1995. Originally, the RPUs focused on rhino, but now cover all the megafauna and habitats in both the southern and northern portions of the Park, counteracting all forms of wildlife crime and habitat destruction, such as illegal logging and encroachment. This work is augmented by a law enforcement and advocacy program (Intelligence and Law Enforcement Unit or ILEU) that facilitates prosecution of poachers. Eight anti-poaching units are now in operation.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the last six months, BBS RPU patrolling resulted in:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>58 rhino footprints identified.</li>\r\n	<li>1 instance of illegal logging encountered.</li>\r\n	<li>1 instance of encroachment encountered </li>\r\n	<li>1 instance of fish, bird, deer and/or pig poaching encountered.</li>\r\n	<li>8 investigations conducted to gather information on illegal wildlife trade near park boundaries.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<p>The RPUs interact intensively with local communities, including intelligence gathering. RPUs have aided farmers living next to the Park in improving environmentally friendly crop production, which has resulted in a decrease in encroachment and an overall increase in income for the farmers. Farmers have switched a portion of their crops to cacao, which allows harvest monthly, as opposed to coffee, which provides only an annual harvest. In some areas in BBS, encroachment has decreased by as much as...</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Want to read the rest of this article?

TK and Berani were introduced in July of 2008 and instantly took to one another and bonded as a pair.\n\nWith her past infants, one born in 2003 and the second in 2006, TK was reported to be a loving and nurturing mother, however, she would not hold either of the infants in a position that allowed him or her to nurse. Despite being dam-reared herself, she preferred to hold the baby on her head or shoulders.  Shortly after the 2006 birth, attempts were made to correct the position of the infant by anesthetizing TK and repositioning the baby near the nipple, but each time she moved him back to her head soon after she awoke. After multiple attempts the decision was made to hand-rear the infant as had been done with the infant in 2003.\n\nKeeping TK’s history in mind, TK’s trainer started her on a rigorous maternal training program within one month of introducing her to Berani in hopes of teaching her to care for her own baby or to allow keepers to assist her in caring for the infant.  Other challenges keepers faced included TK’s indifference to training, her short attention span, and a disconnection from keepers. She had also demonstrated a limited ability and/or inclination to offer new or creative ideas necessary to develop new behaviors. Unlike other orangutans, she rarely seemed to experience the “ah-ha” moment where what is being asked of her suddenly clicks and the new behavior is formed.  However, she was food- motivated.  By consistently doing short sessions at least once daily for the duration of about eight months, TK did learn eight of the nine behaviors asked of her.\n\nIn addition to preparing for the infant’s care after birth, staff also wanted to monitor the progress of the fetus during pregnancy. Therefore, at the same time that TK was learning maternal behaviors, she was also being trained for ultrasound procedures.  Keepers and animal health staff had great success meeting this goal and were able to perform an ultrasound on TK with her complete cooperation approximately once per week during the last 15 weeks of the pregnancy. A simple approach guided by her natural inclinations was used.\n\n<strong>Ultrasound Training</strong>\nThe basic behavior for ultrasounds was present (the abdomen to the mesh), but some desensitization also had to be done with the gel, the probe, and the animal health staff. Due to the large size of TK’s belly, her lower abdomen could not be accessed even with her belly pressed to the mesh. Using an already established behavior, toes, in which she sticks her toes through the mesh, her trainer began asking her to present the toes gradually higher and higher, presenting a clearer view of the lower abdomen. The next step was to ask her to present her belly while holding the toes through the mesh about a foot or so off the ground. With one foot elevated, the only part of her belly she was able to press to the mesh was the lower abdomen.  Next trainers worked on holding this position for increased amounts of time up to ten minutes or so.   Five to ten minute holds seemed to be plenty of time for the vet staff to monitor fetal activity and capture still images used to measure growth.  In all, 14 ultrasound sessions were completed. The preparation and training allowed staff to acquire excellent images with minimal stress to TK throughout the pregnancy.\n\n<strong>Maternal Behaviors</strong>\nThese maternal behaviors were developed to deal with an array of possible foreseeable situations and were taught using basic positive reinforcement training.\n\n1. <strong>Feed the Baby:</strong> Mom is required to press her nipple through the mesh or larger portal while the trainer uses his or her fingers and warm water to simulate suckling. A small orangutan stuffed animal (the “baby”) is held up to the nipple to mock the feeding of an infant through the mesh.\n\n2. <strong>Take:</strong> The trainer offers the “baby” to Mom through a six-inch round portal in the mesh. Mom is required to take the “baby” from the portal and hold it until given further instruction.\n\n3. <strong>Get the Baby:</strong> Mom is asked to retrieve the “baby” from anywhere in her stall and bring it back to the front to her station.\n\n4. <strong>Give:</strong> The “baby” is handed back to the keeper through the portal in the mesh.\n\n5. <strong>Show:</strong> Mom holds the “baby” up against the mesh and allows the keeper to touch and examine it.\n\n6. <strong>Bottle:</strong> Mom executes the show behavior with a hold, allowing the keeper to feed the “baby” a bottle of formula.\n\n7. <strong>Other:</strong> Mom adjusts the “baby” by turning it around or over when holding it in the show behavior, allowing the mouth to be accessed for feeding or any other part of the body to be  examined if necessary.\n\n8. <strong>Pump:</strong> Mom presses either breast to the six-inch portal in the mesh and allows a breast pump to be used to extract her milk.\n\n9. <strong>Nurse:</strong> Mom picks up the baby and holds it near her breast to allow baby to find the nipple.\n\nThe nurse behavior is the only skill trainers were unable to teach TK despite taking several different training approaches. Although TK performed the pump behavior quite well, milk was never extracted due to the fact that the portal was not big enough to easily accommodate the pump and achieve the proper seal required for the pump to work.\n\n<strong>Other Husbandry Considerations </strong>\nAfter consulting the SSP®, animal managers decided to separate TK and Berani about 10-12 weeks before the birth of the baby.  Knowing that their separation would be stressful to both orangutans, it was hoped that an early separation would keep them from associating the experience with the infant.  In addition, keepers wanted to minimize this type of stress in the latter stages of TK’s pregnancy. The separation was also beneficial to TK’s training. She was able to focus better without the distraction of a cage mate during the sessions.\n\nIn the final weeks of pregnancy, TK was housed in a heavily straw bedded stall (one to two feet deep covering entire stall) and only moved for cleaning.  Two cameras with different views of the stall were set up in order to record the birth.  With daily enrichment added, she did not……….\n\n<img class="size-medium wp-image-1780 alignnone" title="kalijon" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/kalijon-300x248.jpg" alt="kalijon" width="300" height="248" />Kalijon just before her first birthday.\n<em>(Photo by Laura Laverick)</em>', 'Human Intervention in the Rearing of an Infant  Bornean Orangutan  (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus)', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1779-revision-2', '', '', '2010-11-02 09:07:37', '2010-11-02 14:07:37', '', 1779, 'http://aazk.org/uncategorized/1779-revision-2/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

TK and Berani were introduced in July of 2008 and instantly took to one another and bonded as a pair.\r\n\r\nWith her past infants, one born in 2003 and the second in 2006, TK was reported to be a loving and nurturing mother, however, she would not hold either of the infants in a position that allowed him or her to nurse. Despite being dam-reared herself, she preferred to hold the baby on her head or shoulders.  Shortly after the 2006 birth, attempts were made to correct the position of the infant by anesthetizing TK and repositioning the baby near the nipple, but each time she moved him back to her head soon after she awoke. After multiple attempts the decision was made to hand-rear the infant as had been done with the infant in 2003.\r\n\r\nKeeping TK’s history in mind, TK’s trainer started her on a rigorous maternal training program within one month of introducing her to Berani in hopes of teaching her to care for her own baby or to allow keepers to assist her in caring for the infant.  Other challenges keepers faced included TK’s indifference to training, her short attention span, and a disconnection from keepers. She had also demonstrated a limited ability and/or inclination to offer new or creative ideas necessary to develop new behaviors. Unlike other orangutans, she rarely seemed to experience the “ah-ha” moment where what is being asked of her suddenly clicks and the new behavior is formed.  However, she was food- motivated.  By consistently doing short sessions at least once daily for the duration of about eight months, TK did learn eight of the nine behaviors asked of her.\r\n\r\nIn addition to preparing for the infant’s care after birth, staff also wanted to monitor the progress of the fetus during pregnancy. Therefore, at the same time that TK was learning maternal behaviors, she was also being trained for ultrasound procedures.  Keepers and animal health staff had great success meeting this goal and were able to perform an ultrasound on TK with her complete cooperation approximately once per week during the last 15 weeks of the pregnancy. A simple approach guided by her natural inclinations was used.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ultrasound Training</strong>\r\nThe basic behavior for ultrasounds was present (the abdomen to the mesh), but some desensitization also had to be done with the gel, the probe, and the animal health staff. Due to the large size of TK’s belly, her lower abdomen could not be accessed even with her belly pressed to the mesh. Using an already established behavior, toes, in which she sticks her toes through the mesh, her trainer began asking her to present the toes gradually higher and higher, presenting a clearer view of the lower abdomen. The next step was to ask her to present her belly while holding the toes through the mesh about a foot or so off the ground. With one foot elevated, the only part of her belly she was able to press to the mesh was the lower abdomen.  Next trainers worked on holding this position for increased amounts of time up to ten minutes or so.   Five to ten minute holds seemed to be plenty of time for the vet staff to monitor fetal activity and capture still images used to measure growth.  In all, 14 ultrasound sessions were completed. The preparation and training allowed staff to acquire excellent images with minimal stress to TK throughout the pregnancy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Maternal Behaviors</strong>\r\nThese maternal behaviors were developed to deal with an array of possible foreseeable situations and were taught using basic positive reinforcement training.\r\n\r\n1. <strong>Feed the Baby:</strong> Mom is required to press her nipple through the mesh or larger portal while the trainer uses his or her fingers and warm water to simulate suckling. A small orangutan stuffed animal (the “baby”) is held up to the nipple to mock the feeding of an infant through the mesh.\r\n\r\n2. <strong>Take:</strong> The trainer offers the “baby” to Mom through a six-inch round portal in the mesh. Mom is required to take the “baby” from the portal and hold it until given further instruction.\r\n\r\n3. <strong>Get the Baby:</strong> Mom is asked to retrieve the “baby” from anywhere in her stall and bring it back to the front to her station.\r\n\r\n4. <strong>Give:</strong> The “baby” is handed back to the keeper through the portal in the mesh.\r\n\r\n5. <strong>Show:</strong> Mom holds the “baby” up against the mesh and allows the keeper to touch and examine it.\r\n\r\n6. <strong>Bottle:</strong> Mom executes the show behavior with a hold, allowing the keeper to feed the “baby” a bottle of formula.\r\n\r\n7. <strong>Other:</strong> Mom adjusts the “baby” by turning it around or over when holding it in the show behavior, allowing the mouth to be accessed for feeding or any other part of the body to be  examined if necessary.\r\n\r\n8. <strong>Pump:</strong> Mom presses either breast to the six-inch portal in the mesh and allows a breast pump to be used to extract her milk.\r\n\r\n9. <strong>Nurse:</strong> Mom picks up the baby and holds it near her breast to allow baby to find the nipple.\r\n\r\nThe nurse behavior is the only skill trainers were unable to teach TK despite taking several different training approaches. Although TK performed the pump behavior quite well, milk was never extracted due to the fact that the portal was not big enough to easily accommodate the pump and achieve the proper seal required for the pump to work.\r\n\r\n<strong>Other Husbandry Considerations </strong>\r\nAfter consulting the SSP®, animal managers decided to separate TK and Berani about 10-12 weeks before the birth of the baby.  Knowing that their separation would be stressful to both orangutans, it was hoped that an early separation would keep them from associating the experience with the infant.  In addition, keepers wanted to minimize this type of stress in the latter stages of TK’s pregnancy. The separation was also beneficial to TK’s training. She was able to focus better without the distraction of a cage mate during the sessions.\r\n\r\nIn the final weeks of pregnancy, TK was housed in a heavily straw bedded stall (one to two feet deep covering entire stall) and only moved for cleaning.  Two cameras with different views of the stall were set up in order to record the birth.  With daily enrichment added, she did not……….\r\n\r\n<img class="size-medium wp-image-1780 alignnone" title="kalijon" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/kalijon-300x248.jpg" alt="kalijon" width="300" height="248" />Kalijon just before her first birthday.\r\n<em>(Photo by Laura Laverick)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Want to read the rest of this important and informative article?
