National and Regional Associations

The list of zoo associations below was provided to us by Laurie Bingham Lacky, who looks after the world’s studbooks for ISIS. It seems to be the most complete list available. The Associations which are Association Members of WAZA are in bold. Associations which are Affiliate members of WAZA are in italics. Associations which are not members of WAZA are in regular types. If any organised national or regional zoo association has been left out or if there are other errors, please don’t be shy to write and tell us. Please send to .
