BARRIER DESIGNS FOR ZOOS 2 (a). Other decisions on the use of barrier for displaying of animals:- (i) It was agreed there should be increasing use of other barriers like hot wire (power fence), concealed ones, glass fronted viewing, rails etc. (ii) Use of stainless steel instead of mild steel, particularly on posts and chainlink mesh should be encouraged due to its longevity, avoidance of rust and lighter weight. (iii) Environmental enrichment like perches, dens, ledges, nesting boxes, feeding logs, wooden logs, wooden platform, wallow, pools, logs, vegetation, bunchy earth should be provided in the exhibits. For this a letter can be addressed to all the zoos for sending their plan with requirement of funds for the purpose. This can be supported by CZA as it is a small component. In case of new enclosures, it should be in built with the design and should be limited to 2% of cost. (iv) Nocturnal animal houses should be provided with adequate space, with open air kraal and sufficient number of animals to be rotated and arrangement for proper regulation of lighting. (v) Reptile houses particularly in the cooler regions, should be covered and glass fronted with assured heating arrangement in winter i.e. back up power supply. (vi) Large, medium and small zoos located in urban areas or within 500 meters from human habitations should be bounded with perimeter wall on all sides of 2 mt. height from the ground level. (vii) In case of zoos with less than 10 hectares area, creation of moated enclosures should be avoided. 62 b. The 50% of the enclosure area should be covered by water body with flaring angleor aeration. Birds of Prey/ The dimension of the chain link mesh covered a.

Different materials can be used either completely or in combination depending on the species, space, availability, topography, climate and existing display type of the zoo. There should be scope for innovation by the zoo management.

CENTRAL ZOO AUTHORITY<br />
Use of different material in designing barriers at animal enclosures was discussed and it was<br />
decided to use many alternative materials like stainless steel mesh and posts, anodized aluminum<br />
frame, piano wire, hot wire (power fence), glass, vegetation, rail, invisible cattle grid type barrier.<br />
2(c)Use of alternatives<br />
No particular barrier can be specified <strong>for</strong> all situations. Different materials can be used either<br />
completely or in combination depending on the species, space, availability, topography, climate<br />
and existing display type of the zoo. There should be scope <strong>for</strong> innovation by the zoo<br />
management.
