What is the Next Step for Environmental Enrichment? Enrichment Record (online publication) 1 (2009)

Patterson-Kane, E.

Abstract

Great advances have been made in determining how to effectively enrich an animal's environment. It is time for environmental enrichment to mature, beyond the initial period of exploration and into universal, mainstream application. Currently, enrichment programs vary greatly in theirdevelopment and influence within institutions. And although further research is called for, the main reason for stalled and sporadic progress and even slide back is not lack of information, but lack of motivation.
