Welcome to SHAPE—South and East Europe (SHAPE—SEE)!

 

SHAPE—SEE is a regional division of The Shape of Enrichment, Inc.

 

Mission

Our mission is to bring together people who work in zoos in different capacities and who are interested in promoting environmental enrichment and working to enrich the lives of captive animals. We will support each other by sharing ideas to implement and advance enrichment efforts in this region.
