She has also established strong training and mentorship frameworks, empowering teams to grow professionally while upholding the highest standards of animal welfare.

Katherine Cronin 博士是一位擁有 20 年經驗的動物福利科學家，長期研究動物行為與福祉。她的工作聚焦於將科學應用於圈養環境中的動物，包括動物園、庇護所與實驗室等，以實際改善動物的生活品質。她的研究始於靈長類，之後更進一步將研究範圍拓展至更廣泛的圈養野生動物。職涯早期，她曾在荷蘭的馬克斯·普朗克研究所（Max Planck Institute）擔任研究人員，並在芝加哥大學演化生物學委員會（Committee on Evolutionary Biology）擔任教學成員。其後，Cronin 博士領導林肯公園動物園的「動物福利科學計畫」，推動並形塑國內外在福利監測與評估上的整體作法。現階段，Cronin博士持續就複雜的動物福利議題提供顧問與諮詢服務，並以寫作與公開演講推廣科學、動物與福祉。她亦擔任北美動物園暨水族館協會（AZA）動物福利委員會顧問，以及英國「大學動物福利聯盟（UFAW）」國際科學諮詢委員會委員。

Dr. Katherine Cronin is an animal welfare scientist with 20 years of experience studying animal behavior and wellbeing. Her work focuses on applying science to improve the lives of animals in human care, including those in zoos, sanctuaries, and laboratories. Trained as a primatologist, she’s since expanded her research to include a broad range of captive wildlife. Earlier in her career, she was a staff scientist at the Max Planck Institute in the Netherlands and a faculty member on the University of Chicago’s Committee on Evolutionary Biology. Dr. Cronin later led the Animal Welfare Science Program at Lincoln Park Zoo, where she helped shape national and international approaches to welfare monitoring and evaluation. Today, Dr. Cronin continues to consult and advise on complex animal welfare issues, and writes and speaks about science, animals, and wellbeing. She serves as an advisor to the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)’s Animal Welfare Committee and as a member of the Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) International Scientific Advisory Committee.

Mark James Learmonth 博士是一位動物倫理學家與動物福利科學家，現於英國布里斯托動物園協會任職，擔任首席動物倫理學家與動物行為與福利專案經理，此外也同時在布里斯托大學與西英格蘭大學合作的碩士學位課程授課。Mark 目前負責主導布里斯托動物園協會於 2024 年建立的人類與動物倫理研究計畫。他的核心興趣聚焦於人—動物互動的倫理，特別是由動物主體主動發起的互動；並致力於促進動物表現正向的功能性／適應性行為，以達成圈養動物的最佳正向福利狀態。在本次研討會中，Mark 將就動物福利、遊客教育、以及遊客娛樂與參與度之間的優先順序取得平衡進行研究並發表綜述。Mark 認為，這些重點不應被視為互相排斥；在審慎規劃並正確執行的前提下，對動物最好的作法往往也能最有利於提升遊客參與。

Dr. Mark James Learmonth is an animal ethicist and animal welfare scientist currently working for Bristol Zoological Society (Bristol, England, United Kingdom), as their Lead Ethicist and an Animal Behaviour and Welfare Project Manager. He also lectures for two university Master’s degree programmes, partnered with two Bristol universities – The University of Bristol and The University of the West of England (UWE). Mark is responsible for running the research, animal and human ethics programme established by BZS in 2024. Mark is keenly interested in the ethics of human-animal interactions, especially those interactions that are initiated by the animal participant, as well as promoting positive functional/adaptive behaviours in animals to achieve optimal positive welfare states in zoo housed animals. Furthermore, Mark has investigated and published reviews on balancing priorities for animal welfare, visitor education and visitor entertainment and engagement. Mark believes that these priorities shouldn’t be considered as mutually exclusive priorities, as what is best for the animals can also be best for visitor engagement, when well-considered and applied correctly.
