ACE for Wildlife Network | 644 followers on LinkedIn. Sharing knowledge, experiences, and data to drive conservation change through fostering empathy for animals | As zoos and aquariums seek to motivate our visitors to act in ways that benefit animals in human care and in the wild, we are learning through emerging behavioral science that feeling empathy may be a necessary step between learning and taking conservation action. From 2015-2017, Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle Aquarium, and Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium partnered through the Measuring Empathy Collaborative Assessment Project (MECAP) to define empathy for wildlife and develop tools to measure it. While implementing empathy practices over the next four years, Woodland Park Zoo recognized how much there still was to learn.
