This paper addresses the potential for technology to support husbandry and enrichment opportunities that enhance the welfare of zoo and sanctuary-housed nocturnal and crepuscular species. This topic was investigated through the medium of a multidisciplinary workshop (Moon Jam) that brought together species experts, zoo designers, Animal-Computer Interaction researchers and post-graduate students in collaborative discussions and design sessions. We explain the context through an examination of existing research and current practices, and report on specific challenges raised and addressed during the Moon Jam, highlighting and discussing key themes that emerged. Finally, we offer a set of guidelines to support the integration of technology into the design of animal husbandry and enrichment that support wellbeing, to advance the best practices in keeping and managing nocturnal and crepuscular animals.
本文探讨了利用技术为圈养于动物园和野生动物保护区的夜行性和晨昏性动物提供饲养支持及丰富活动机会以提升其福利水平的可能性。通过一个多学科研讨会(月光派对)对这一主题展开了研究,该研讨会汇聚了物种专家、动物园设计师、动物与计算机交互领域的研究人员以及研究生,共同进行协作讨论和设计环节。我们通过审视现有研究和当前实践来阐述背景情况,并汇报在月光派对期间提出并解决的具体挑战,突出并讨论所出现的关键主题。最后,我们提供了一套指导方针,以支持将技术融入有助于动物福祉的饲养和丰富活动设计中,从而推动饲养和管理夜行性及晨昏性动物的最佳实践。
