I-Smithsonian Biology Conservation Institute, eyayibizwa ngokuba yi- National Zoo Conservation & Research Centre, yinkqubo ye-National Zoological Park yaseSmithsonian eyaqala ngokuyinhloko njengeziko lokuzalisa iinyoni kunye nezilwanyana ezinobungozi. Namhlanje, indawo yama-acrethi angama-3 200, e-Front Royal, eVirginia, izindlu eziphakathi kweentsholongwane ezingama-30 no-40. Izixhobo zophando ziquka i-lab ye-GIS, i-endocrine kunye ne-gamete labs, ikliniki yezilwanyana, i-lab yokulandelela i-rabhu, izitishi ze-14, kunye neendawo zokubeka iliso kwizinto eziphilayo, kunye neziko leenkomfa, iiborori kunye neofisi zemfundo.
Imizamo yokuLondoloza
Izazinzulu kwi-Smithsonian Biology Conservation Institute zisebenza kwiinkqubo ezininzi kwi-Scientific Reproductive and Conservation Biology. Uphando lwabo lubhekiselele kulondolozo lwezilwanyana ezinobungozi kunye nezendalo kwimihlaba, kwilizwe, nakwihlabathi jikelele. Iinjongo eziphambili zophando zizokugcina ulondolozo lwezilwanyana zasendle, ulondoloze indawo yokuhlala kunye nokubuyisela iintlobo zasendle. Le nkqubo iphinda ikhuthaze uqeqesho lwamazwe ngamazwe ngobunkokheli bendalo. Amagosa karhulumente angaphezu kwama-2,700 kunye nokugcinwa kwamagosa angama-80 avela kwiintlanga ezingama-80 baye baqeqeshwa ngabasebenzi kwizilwanyana zasendle kunye nezindlela zokulondoloza indawo, iindlela zokubeka esweni, kunye nezakhono zomgaqo-nkqubo.
I-Smithsonian Biology Conservation Institute itholakala ngamamayela amabini kumzantsi-mpuma kwidolophu yase Front Royal, eVirginia, e-US Hwy. 522 eMzantsi (iRewount Road).
Iziko livulelekile kuluntu rhoqo ngonyaka kwiNkundla yokuLondolozwa kweAntumn.
Abaveleli banethuba lokusebenzisana nabasosayensi abaziwayo behlabathi ngabanye baze bafunde ngophando lwabo olumnandi. Ukwamkelwa kufaka emva kwee-scenes kubheka izilwanyana ezisengozini, ukuhlala kumculo kunye nemisebenzi ekhethekileyo yabantwana. Umcimbi ubanjwe imvula okanye ukhanyise.
