DescANIMAL CARE: Shedd Aquarium is home to the world's largest and most diverse aquatic collections - more than 32,500 animals representing over 1,500 species. A global leader in animal care, Shedd's training and husbandry programs support onsite research efforts that contribute to the growing scientific body of knowledge about those species in the wild. Additionally, Shedd's veterinarians are aquatic medicine pioneers who are advancing the fields of preventive medicine, aging care, and conservation medicine while providing world-class medical care that further expands understanding of how to support healthy animal populations in aquariums and in the wild. Shedd's animal care expertise also lends itself to crisis response around the world. As a nationally-recognized leader in rescue and rehabilitation, the aquarium has helped animals in need for decades. Shedd frequently acts as a partner and advisor to state and federal government agencies, and fellow zoos and aquariums seeking advice about rehoming orphaned or injured wildlife.Desc

DescCONSERVATION SCIENCE AND RESEARCH: SHEDD IS LOCATED IN CHICAGO, BUT ITS RESEARCH IS WORLDWIDE. ITS HUSBANDRY, VETERINARY AND CONSERVATION PROGRAMS ARE GROUNDED IN RESEARCH THAT SUPPORTS HEALTHY ANIMALS AT SHEDD AND VIBRANT WILD POPULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. SHEDD'S CONSERVATION RESEARCH PROGRAMS WORK TO MAXIMIZE BIODIVERSITY WHILE PRESERVING LOCAL LIVELIHOODS, AND FIELD RESEARCHERS OFTEN WORK SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH CITIZEN SCIENTISTS TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE AND HABITATS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THE AQUARIUM'S WORK INCLUDES MORE THAN TWO DECADES OF RESEARCH ON BAHAMIAN ROCK IGUANAS, ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST CRITICALLY ENDANGERED LIZARDS, AS WELL AS STUDIES OF ENDANGERED ARAPAIMA IN GUYANA, QUEEN CONCH AND GROUPER IN THE BAHAMAS, AND SEAHORSES IN SOUTHEAST ASIA. CLOSER TO HOME, SHEDD'S GREAT LAKES RESEARCH FOCUSES ON HIGH PRIORITY WILDLIFE AND HABITAT CONSERVATION ISSUES; THE AQUARIUM'S APPLIED STUDIES SUPPORT LOCAL AND REGIONAL AGENCIES IN DEVELOPING SOUND MANAGEMENT PLANS THAT CAN PROTECT THIS TREASURED NATIONAL RESOURCE. ONSITE, SHEDD'S STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES AND ANIMAL CARE EXPERTS SERVE AS RESOURCES FOR RESEARCH PARTNERS IN CHICAGO AND AROUND THE UNITED STATES. ONSITE RESEARCH PROVIDES VALUABLE BIOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL INFORMATION THAT INFORMS UNDERSTANDING OF SPECIES WHICH ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STUDY IN THE WILD. IN ADDITION TO SHARING WHAT IT LEARNS WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, SHEDD'S ONSITE WORK CONTRIBUTES TO ITS OWN FIELD RESEARCH, SUCH AS HEALTH ASSESSMENTS OF WILD ALASKAN BELUGA WHALES AND EFFORTS TO SAVE SHARKS FROM LIFE-THREATENING STRESS RESPONSES FROM ENVIRONMENTAL AND ANTHROPOGENIC STRESSORS.Desc
