Abstract

This review presents concepts concerning the problematization of captive environment. The objective was to analyze the way in which the use of environmental enrichment has contributed to the natural performance of captive animals. It is concluded that this technique reduces stress, increasing the degree of welfare and thus stimulating the development of behaviors typical of the species.
