2006 Conservation Impact Report

conservation impact report

Zoos and accredited by the Association of and Aquariums (AZA) are much more than places to see – they are leaders in conservation. In the last five years, AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums funded 3,693 conservation projects in more than 100 countries. Annual spending on conservation averages nearly $70 million per year.

From endangered breeding to field conservation to educational programs, zoos and aquariums help maintain our planet’s diverse and natural while engaging the American public to appreciate and participate in conservation. In this annual report, you will find a summary of the 2006 collective conservation efforts of AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums, as well as a complete list of individual projects broken out by state and by zoological institution.

2006 annual summary

Total number of projects reported 1,807 New824 Continued983

Publications AZA experts publish their findings each year to share their wealth of knowledge with their colleagues and the rest of the scientific community. In 2006, AZA and professionals produced a total of 787 publications.

book chapters 57 books 20 conferences/ meetings 270 journal articles 333 posters 94 thesis/ dissertations 13

Information about the 2006 Conservation Impact Report In 2006, AZA had 216 accredited institutions and certified-related facilities. 194 AZA members contributed data to this report. Not all institutions report the amount of money spent on their projects or contributions. Thus, the total expenses reported to AZA are likely to only reflect a subset of the entire impact AZA zoos and aquariums had on conservation that year.

The conservation reports in this impact report may be viewed in full at the AZA website: http://members.aza.org/departments/ConScienceMO/ARCS/
