It also includes papers on new developments in the zoo world and a comprehensive reference section with two years' worth of data.
Proceedings of the Fourth World Conference on Breeding Endangered Species in Captivity: This section contains 28 papers from a conference held in September 1984, discussing the importance of captive breeding for saving endangered species. Topics covered include artificial breeding techniques, the significance of genetics and population management, examples of cooperative breeding programs and species reintroduction (like the Arabian oryx), conservation of often-overlooked species such as fish and invertebrates, and the challenge of prioritizing species for conservation efforts.
New Developments in the Zoo World: This section includes 24 papers focusing on the management and breeding of various rare species and offers practical advice and case studies. Specific topics include breeding the Broad-nosed caiman and Red-billed curassow in captivity, an analysis of vitamin E in zoo animals, and descriptions of new exhibits at locations like the Berlin Zoo Aquarium and Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle.
Reference Section: This section provides data for zoo professionals, covering the years 1982 and 1983. It includes an updated directory of world zoos and aquaria, a list of new buildings and exhibits from 1981-1982, a taxonomic list of vertebrates bred in captivity, a census of rare animals, and a list of international studbooks and world registers.
