Heutzutage ist ein Zoo mehr als nur eine Zurschaustellung von Tieren. Die pädogische Rolle und der Artenschutz spielen eine essenzielle Rolle. Und die Beschilderung ist wichtig. Hier ein paar Aufnahmen aus dem Tiergarten Schönbrunn. Besonders gute Idee sind die Fragen für Kinder zu den Tieren an allen Gehegen... und natürlich die phantasivollen Namensschilder für viele Tiere (Mai 2017) // Information Panels in Zoos are important. A zoo does not just display animals. It's above all a place for educating people on animals, their behaviour, (the destruction of) their habitat, the threat of extinction, etc. The photos below from various zoos are just food for thought: what makes a good sign, what engages the visitor - young and old... Quizzes for children at the enclosures are a good idea. Also telling visitors the names of animals, telling them about their character.
We start with a few photos from the zoo "Schoenbrunn" in Vienna, Austria. Lots of information on Wolves; also name signs for many animals. Scroll down for other signs, e,g, from Edinburgh, Whipsnade, Barcelona and many more. Please click on photo below for larger image // Auf Photo klicken für größere Auflösung
And some interesting signs from Edinburgh Zoo (April 2018) Und hier ein paar Bilder aus dem Zoo in Edinburgh: Please click on photo below for larger image // Auf Photo klicken für größere Auflösung
And Whipsnade Zoo (Hertfordshire, north of St Albans) - unfortunately they had just killed their last wolves about a week before I visited the zoo in 2015! Hence, no panels on wolves...
And a few signs from the Kurpfalzpark (Wachenheim, Weinstrasse, Germany). Und ein paar Schilder aus dem Kurpfalzpark! - keine Ahnung, warum ein paar Photos falsch hochgeladen wurden, aber ok wenn man sie anclickt...
And a few signs from the Wildlife Park, Bad Mergentheim... Und hier noch ein paar Schilder aus dem Wildpark Bad Mergentheim - wieder mit Fragen & Antworten zu den Tieren: hier für die WÖLFE!
Das ist doch mal eine Informationstafel für einen Park! Regents Park, London! So was müßte es auch in anderen Park geben (also, in Worms am Rhein...)
Und ein paar Erklärungen zu Bäumen in einem Park in Abbeville (Somme)....
Tiergarten Worms... Moch gibt es schoene Schilder m Tiergarten Worms: interessant, inspirierend,... aber leider werden diese jetzt von langweiligen neuen Schildern fuer viel Geld verdraengt. Unverstaendlich!!
And some signs from the Zoo in Barcelona Sep. 2018 Good idea to have large information panels on "enrichment" and "re-introduction" of animals in their natural habitat... (Click on an image to see it full and in correct orientaiton!)
