The keeping of animals in captivity has been a long-standing practice for various purposes, including conservation, research, and entertainment. However, captivity can have negative effects on animal behavior and welfare, leading to stress, boredom, and abnormal behaviors. These negative effects can be attributed to the lack of stimulation and natural environments, leading to a decrease in animal welfare. Environmental enrichment is a strategy used to improve the living conditions of captive animals by providing them with stimulating environments that promote natural behavior.
