This is very short-sighted. Of course we can't use the data for their original purpose, but that doesn't mean that they don't have other significant uses.
I teach on animal care courses and I can use this as an example of a studbook, an example of an application of IT to animal care or an exercise to improve their IT skills using real data. I'm not saying that these are very important on the global scale, but anything that helps my students is important to me.

As you can see... only boring data. Not the best studbook I think. It doesn't have an analysis or recommendations. You posted some of the worst I've seen.:confused:
 
Studbooks dont necessarily come with recommendations and rarely with analysis. Only SSP/PMP/EEP documents come with these materials.

A Studbook is only a historical (or current) listing of that species in captivity...for those of us geneological fanatics, this a great resource to outline pedigree charts and discover the various histories of the animals we adore.
 
The EAZA Yearbook provides summaries of most EEP and ESB species i.e. stock for each zoo at start of year , births , deaths and movements and stock at end . For some species quite a detailed written report is also provided . It is not particularly up-to-date though - the 2006 Report has recently been published . It can be purchased in book or CD-ROM format - order form can be down-loaded from the EAZA web-site , see shop .

It is a real shame that the ISIS stud-book CD-ROM is not available to us enthusiasts .
 
well, the European Studbook is available at Basel Zoo. Write a mail or visit the zoo shop. There you get the Pygmy Hippopottamus Studbook, too.
 
If "people like us" got a clear whack at consulting this info. many uncomfortable truths would come out and more than one breeding program would be shown up in its true colours.The current status quo suits the zoo world.It reminds me of the situation in the world´s leading art galleries.Most art curators can name an arm´s length of forgeries in leading galleries, but of course everybody keeps their mouths shut because their own institutions have exactly the same situation.In the internet era , all studbook info. should be freely and profusely available for consultation - no excuses.All professional bodies try to control info. claiming that it is "not interesting" to the general public.I think it is just as well that politics, medicine, etc IS found interesting by enough people to keep the system on its toes.The zoo world is no different and should be grateful that it can count on the support of so many aficionados and see their interest as a source of positive criticism rather than a threatening inconvenience.

If you give me your e-mail by pm I can send it in *.pdf.

@gentle lemur: the same ... (to use for your lessons, got some others as well).

But I warn you: nothing but boring data and a few written pages that could be interesting (a verry few), and of course out of date (as allways)....
