  UK Giraffe Behavior Workshop

  Hosted by West Midlands Safari Park, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's International Center for the Care and Conservation of Giraffe will be partnering with BIAZA and Behavior Works to host their 2nd annual workshop in the UK. 

  This workshop offers a unique opportunity to gain valuable skills in a variety of topics with giraffe experts. During this Giraffe Behavior Workshop, we have paired lecture material with hands-on opportunities in giraffe training, behavior, hoof care, environmental enhancements, and leadership skills. We will also take a brief look into how enclosure design and management practices can stimulate natural foraging behaviors and reduce undesired behaviors. 

  If you have already attended the 2024 workshop we encourage you to still attend. Our 2025 workshop will provide not only a refresher on material previously delivered but will also provide new content to build upon existing skills and experience.

  2025 Giraffe Care Workshop

  This week-long workshop is designed specifically for giraffe care professionals, aiming to strengthen the community of experts dedicated to giraffe welfare. Attendees will gain the tools and knowledge that will empower them to continually improve giraffe care, both in situ and ex situ.

  Lecture material is balanced with roundtable discussions and hands-on activities.  The Giraffe Care Workshop provides unique opportunities to work directly with the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo's (CMZoo) giraffe herd, practicing training techniques and observing live demonstrations. Attendees will work through various giraffe-specific modules with CMZoo staff, and gain knowledge and experience in the following topics: training, browse programs, hoof care, conservation, teamwork, roadblocks, enrichment, and guest/giraffe interactions.

  By the end of the week, attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of giraffe care and practical experience to implement in their own work environments.
