Zoo deleted

The Zoo Pelt (Bird Palace) was deletded, because that this is a private collection and the owner does not want his collection online.

Addition of EAZA-Members in Taiwan, Singapore and New Zealand

We've added the following zoos to the database: Taipei (Zoo), Singapore (Zoo), Singapore (River Safari), Singapore (Night Safari), Singapore (Jurong Bird Park) and Auckland (Zoo). You can now update the collection information of these zoos just like the others on ZTL. In addition, all other zoological institutions from Taiwan, New Zealand and Singapore have been added and can be updated.

New sorting of the columns by "European Union" and "Non-EU and other EAZA countries".

The columns in the Zootierliste are now no longer divided according to Germany and the rest of the EAZA, but for a better overview sorted to "European Union" and "Non-EU and other EAZA countries". For each country, the current number of holdings of the respective species is displayed./p>

Extension of the endangerment status by the categories of the GEH (The Society for the Conservation of Old and Endangered Livestock Breeds)

From now on, the endangerment status can also be displayed for endangered domestic animal breeds. This is based on the Red List of the Society for the Conservation of Old and Endangered Livestock Breeds. /p>

Administration news

Several zoological institutions, which comprise subunits with separate access and admission, have been also listed separately on Zootierliste (example: Berlin (Zoologischer Garten) and Berlin (Zoologischer Garten/Aquarium)). This is now changed and in accordance with the zoo list of our cooperation partner http://www.zoo-infos.de these will be treated as one institution on Zootierliste as well in the future. This also takes account of the fact that these institutions only have e.g. one EAZA membership. Is there a real distance between two subunits (example Poznan (Stare Zoo) und Poznan (Nowe Zoo)) the separate institution entries well be kept up. This way there will be a simple and objective rule for these special cases. If you know of any other cases, in which changes are necessary, please let us know./p>

Administration news

Since there has been an increasing number of cases of inappropriate deletion of species profiles, we have been forced to restrict the authorisation for these changes to the administrators. If you think things need to be changed or delted, please contact us via the Notice Board or mail@zootierliste.de. Thanks for your understanding

Extension to all fish species

Up to now only threatened fish species and those of a total length of at least 40 cm have been listed on Zootierliste. Now we prepared an extension to all species without further restriction. As a first step the categories for the systematic classification have been replenished and modified. To handle the mammoth task of adding the missing species, we will reserve a time frame until the end of August 2014, in which only the administrators will add species, of which holdings are known. From the beginning of September onwards all users can check the species added until then and report potential additional species. But please respect this period. Once a species is added, holding can of course directly be added, too.

Important Information - Extension of threatened fish species

Furthermore smaller bony fishes (with less then 40 cm of total length) are collected, if they are in one of the 6 following states of threated species according to the "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species":
• EX - Extinct
• EW - Extinct in the Wild
• CR - Critically Endangered
• EN - Endangered
• VU - Vulnerable
• NT - Near Threatened

Important Information

The sections: List of abbreviations,Information about Postings,Unsaved Postings and Downloads have been translated to english.

Important Information

There have been some important changes about the zooinfo. It is now divided into three sections:

1/Basisinformation (basic information): everything about the beginning or the end of the holding, breeding information, subspecific information.

2/sonstige Informationen (further information): anything else apart from what has already been mentioned among 1/

3/Quellen/Nachweise (sources/proofs): sources and proofs for the information given (visits including month of visit, literature, websites)

Please pay attention to this new system when adding a new zooinfo from now on.
