November is Native American Heritage Month. To honor the history, culture, traditions, and contributions of Native communities, we are highlighting the work of young researchers who bring their Indigenous culture to their conservation field work. Ryan Masayesva is a Masters student at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Raequel Picard is an enrolled member of the Nez Perce Tribe and a graduate student at the University of Idaho studying Natural Resources and Society.

Ryan and Raequel graciously answered a few of our questions, including how their experience growing up in an Indigenous community influences their conservation work. Click through to read their responses.

"Gibbon" these apes some love today for International Gibbon Day! 💚

Stone Zoo is home to a family of northern white-cheeked gibbons. Their Animal Care team is always looking for new ways to engage them and encourage foraging behavior. Behold the "surprise-filling patty cake" with their nutritious chow hiding the yummy sweet potatoes in the middle!

Whew, caring for gibbons is hard work. Not only do Our Animal Care and Veterinary professionals work tirelessly to provide a nourishing diet, constant enrichment and regular veterinary care, we also help support their complex social, physical, and behavioral needs.

This species is Critically Endangered due to threats including the illegal pet trade. Young gibbons are often taken from their families and sold as exotic pets. Trust us, gibbons do not make great pets. Through our participation in the AZA Species Survival Plan (SSP), we collaborate with other accredited zoos to maintain healthy, genetically diverse populations in human care—without removing gibbons from the wild. And you can visit Iggy, Kien and Trieu all year and learn about their specialized care needs, the threats they face in the wild, and how we can all contribute to their conservation.

Start helping by taking a stand against the illegal wildlife trade. Here's how ➤ zoonewengland.org/protect/around-the-globe/wildlife-trafficking-alliance-be-informed-buy-informed/

Himal gets special carnivore enrichment all year round — not just on International Snow Leopard Day (that's today).

🥩 Our Animal Care teams periodically present the carnivores large hunks of meat in a challenging way that lets them show off their natural feeding behaviors, ripping and shredding muscle, connective tissues and bones. This is just one part of our enrichment care, which supports their overall well-being along with a nutritious diet and veterinary care.

💚 In addition to providing Himal the best possible care, Zoo New England is also deeply committed to snow leopard conservation. Through our partnership with the Snow Leopard Trust and our involvement with the Sabin Snow Leopard Grant Program, we're pushing snow leopard protections and research in their natural habitats in Asia.

🐾 Join us tomorrow at Stone Zoo to learn even more about snow leopards and conservation efforts underway to protect them in the wild! Look for an Education Station and special chats from 10am – 2:30pm. Details: zoonewengland.org/engage/snow-leopard-day/

Just like the nurses at your doctor's office, Certified Veterinary Technicians offer vital support to our veterinary doctors. Vet techs receive similar education and training to human nurses and have similar skills.

And we are deeply grateful for their passion and commitment to the care and well-being of animals at Zoo New England. Thank you, and Happy Veterinary Technician Week!
