Beyond Animal Welfare: The Art and Science of Wellness - 5266

Beyond Animal Welfare is a personal account of the wellness construct and its utility as an animal welfare enhancement. Professor Terry L. Maple discovered wellness as he sought to optimize animal welfare standards and practices in his duel career as an animal welfare scientist and a CEO for two zoos in Atlanta and West Palm Beach, Florida. The book examines the merger of human-centered wellness principles and the advancing quality of life offered to wildlife in human care. Professor Maple reveals that wellness applies to both human beings and animals, communities, and ecosystems. The key to long-term improvements in living standards is wellness-inspired design, a process whereby the animal is encouraged to thrive by creative enhancements to its physical and social environment. The art and science of wellness is identified as the new frontier of animal welfare reform.
