Naturalistic Enrichment:
Ideas for Integrating Enrichment
Features with Immersion Landscapes
and Interpretation
SPEAKER
Jon Coe
Landscape Architect and
Zoo Planner and Designer
Australia.
In continuation to the task on “Landscape immersion
exhibits and beyond”, this lecture presentation of Jon
Coe on “Naturalistic Enrichment” provided lots of
innovative ideas and insight for creating naturalistic
enrichment features for wild animals in captivity. The
naturalistic enrichment is an essential feature, required
to be integrated in the conceptual and operational
design of landscape immersion exhibits for creating
proper and healthy living condition for wild animals
in the zoos.

“We’ve spent a
million dollars making
this exhibit to present
a message about wild
animals and their
habitats...
and you’ve stuffed it
up with cheap
playground equipment
and toys.”
