Abstract

Zoology is the science that deals with animals and due to its number of sub areas of study, the academic orientation of students and the access to quality knowledge usually become restricted. Although the labour market has demanded by qualified professionals, many peculiarities involve the study with animals, such as techniques, ethics and bureaucracies. Aiming to provide tools to attenuate deficiencies from the academic formation of these professionals, the Laboratory of Zoology of the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS) annually realizes extension-program projects. The first project was in 2009 and was named as curso teórico-prático de taxidermização básica de mamíferos. Due its demand and receptivity for a great amount of people, a second project was offered comprising some concepts of several Zoology sub areas and Zoological Collections and was named as técnicas de Manejo de Coleções Zoológicas. Good indicators from the early projects allowed four more editions, the last one in 2014. The projects were put to good use by the academic community, contributing for vocational training of students, professors, and external community.
