The Enrichment Science Podcast Ep 1

What is enrichment, and why is it essential for every animal in human care? In the first episode of *The Enrichment Science Podcast*, Lara Joseph and Dr. Jason Crean introduce the science of enrichment and explain how it supports animals’ mental and physical well-being. They explore natural behavior, foraging, social enrichment, choice, problem-solving, and the importance of designing environments around the needs of both the species and the individual. You’ll also learn how thoughtful enrichment can help prevent boredom, stress, abnormal repetitive behavior, and other behavior concerns—and why enrichment should be considered a basic part of animal care rather than an optional extra.
