The Enormous Value of a Tiny Data Point
Video of Laura Graham, Registrar at Bristol Zoo, presentation for the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) Records Working Group meeting. Laura showcases the vital role of animal care staff, vets, and volunteers that collect animal data and why it's so essential that record keepers manage the data to make it as powerful as possible in telling the story of their animals. From individual to global data – Laura shows how powerful individual data points in the Species360 Zoological Information Management Systems (ZIMS) can become on a global research level.
