The Shape of Enrichment attracts a worldwide audience, and we currently have subscribers in nearly 40 countries. Our authors include keepers, curators, veterinarians, volunteers, and others from many types of animal facilities.

 

We are always seeking new articles for publication in The Shape of Enrichment. Although our roots remain among zoological institutions, enrichment for animals housed in other institutions (e.g. sanctuary, rehabilitation facility, laboratory, farm, pet) is also appropriate. If you or anyone you know has an enrichment idea to share, we would be pleased to consider it for publication.
