Recently, on the basis of the Kiev zoo was the second training seminar on work with the ZIMS program, work in which dreams and the Lutsk zoo. The seminar was attended by leading experts-members of the Ukrainian zoos, including the Director of the municipal enterprise "Lutsk zoo" Ludmila Denisenko. Upon completion of training, conducted by a representative of the company ISIS in Eastern Europe and Israel Alexander Kantorovich, all participants received international certificates. According to Lyudmila Denisenko, ZIMS ( Zoological Information Management System) is a product developed by ISIS. This international software designed for recording and monitoring of the animal collection and keeping the zoo. It is used in the online members of the international non-profit organization ISIS (International Species Information System or information system for international species), which serves more than almost tens of thousands of zoos and aquariums worldwide, and contains an electronic database that includes detailed information on more than 3 million animals (more than 15 thousand species). About us the Director of the zoo explains that "this means that we are recognized by the school, where you can hold international scientific and breeding work. But if in basis will be all our animals with cubs, it will create proper accounting and will allow us to exchange animals with other zoos in the world". However, adherence to licensed software costs money, and in the currency. However, Ludmila Denisenko hoped that funds will be able to earn. Reference: In General idea of ZIMS have any 2008. There was a problem, how to maintain the genetic diversity of populations of rare animals in captivity, to ensure effective data exchange between zoos. And then the American zoologists have proposed the use of an online database of ZIMS, which was originally conceived as a Dating site for our little brothers. After all, zoos have used the so-called "stud book", which meant gender, age, biometric indicators, health status and pedigree animals. However, there was a lack of timely updates and the lack of specific information, important for breeding animals. Moreover, the breeding of animals in captivity is complicated by the genetic uniformity of populations, so to maintain the species required careful planning and cooperation between zoos.
