Harteman Wildfowl Aviaries
Conservation & Aviculture
Conservation
Harteman Wildfowl contributes to knowledge, education and conservation of the world's waterfowl and a variety of other birds. For some species we contribute by being part of EAZA’s Ex-situ Programmes (EEP); as well as directly contributing to ex-situ conservation by keeping and breeding threatened species in my private collection – keeping breeding records, gathering data and images about these species in my private collection – and educating the general public through my personal website, social media channels, magazines and the IUCN-SSC Threatened Waterfowl Specialists Group.
Aviculture
Aviculture is the practice of keeping and breeding birds in a protected environment using controlled conditions, for pleasure, (semi-) scientific research and conservation purpose. Modern aviculture embraces new insighs on zootechniques, ethics, welfare and environment. Modern aviculture embraces the sharing of passion, knowledge and skills within the sector and beyond.
