Move Beyond Static Routines
Environmental enrichment is a cornerstone of non-human primate (NHP) care, designed to promote species-appropriate behavior, psychological well-being, and behavioral choice. However, effective programs cannot remain static.
Factors such as cage space, social dynamics, life stage, and seasonal temperatures heavily influence an animal's daily needs. This presentation explores practical strategies for adapting NHP enrichment based on environmental and seasonal factors within a managed care setting.
