Follow on Google News | ISIS Launches Partnership With The Sociedade de Zoológicos e Aquários do BrasilAgreement is to strengthen animal records management best practices within the Brazilian Zoological Community.
By: isis ISIS will collaborate closely with the SZB and with Brazilian zoological institutions to define animal records management best practices. With complete and accurate animal records, curators are able to make informed recommendations, veterinarians can provide appropriate treatments, and keepers can perform animal husbandry. Comprehensive records are essential for conservation as a larger number of species are managed within, and across, country borders. “Brazil is a country with one of the highest rates of biodiversity in the world. The Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) by ISIS, is an essential tool for Brazilian institutions to track and examine life and collection histories, and also to make their data available to the global zoological community,” said Dr. Yara de Melo Barros, President of the Society of Zoos and Aquariums of Brazil. “With the use of ZIMS, animal inventories will be much more comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date.” Added J. Peter Donlon, Director, Global Member Development: About International Species Information System (ISIS) International Species Information System (ISIS), a non-profit founded in 1974, provides records management solutions to over 800 institutions in 80 countries.
