Saving Madagascar through Applied Science

包括布朗克斯动物园在内的野生动物保护协会（WCS）将设计、开发、制作、评估和安装一个长期展览，并附带公共节目，介绍马达加斯加岛的生物学和保护科学。该展览部分基于WCS在马达加斯加进行的长期科学研究，将采用沉浸式互动展览方式，包括活体植物和动物，以及在线课程（科学中的野生探索），远程学习探险和互动网站，让所有年龄段的游客体验保护科学和科学拯救野生动物的具体例子。游客将探索独特和美丽的重建栖息地，遇到迷人的动物，并了解地方性，岛屿生物地理学和生物多样性等概念。该展览每年将为布朗克斯动物园的约200万游客提供服务，并通过在线课程和远程学习计划为全国数百万游客提供服务。

The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), the umbrella organization including the Bronx Zoo, will design, develop, fabricate, evaluate and install a long-term exhibition with ancillary public programming about the biology and conservation science of the island of Madagascar. Based in part on long-term scientific research conducted in Madagascar by the WCS, the exhibit will use immersive, interactive exhibit approaches including live plants and animals, as well as an on-line curriculum (Wild Explorations in Science), distance learning expeditions, and an interactive website to engage visitors of all ages in experiencing conservation science and specific examples of science saving wildlife. Visitors will explore unique and beautifully re-created habitats, encounter fascinating animals and learn about concepts such as endemism, island biogeography and biodiversity. The exhibit will serve about 2,000,000 visitors to the Bronx Zoo annually and millions nationwide through on-line curricula and distance learning programs.
