Enrichment isn’t just about keeping animals busy—it’s about helping them thrive. Every species sees, hears, and experiences the world in its own way. When we design enrichment that taps into those natural senses and instincts, we give animals the chance to explore, solve problems, and make choices that matter to them. 

Thoughtful, targeted enrichment can ease stress, build confidence, and even keep minds sharp—whether it’s a fish navigating a complex habitat, a cheetah directing behavior away from zoo patrons, or a banana puree lick-mat for a stressed spider monkey. 

In zoos, aquariums, rescue centers, and research facilities alike, good enrichment is about more than fun—it’s about respect, welfare, and helping animals stay curious and resilient in a changing world!
