Lincoln Park Zoo

Lincoln Park Zoo will develop a platform that will enhance the care and welfare of animals housed across zoos and aquariums throughout the United States and around the world. Building on its existing platform, ZooMonitor - which provides for behavioral monitoring at a single institution - ZooMonitor One will expand the application to a collaborative platform that will facilitate data collection across institutions. A project advisory committee of zoo and aquarium experts will guide project development and ensure community support. The zoo will develop an online training resource to ensure reliable data collection by collaborating institutions and create analytics tools to leverage multi-institutional behavioral patterns into actionable insights.
