INTRODUCTION 2
2015 Annual Report on Conservation and Science
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) 2015 Annual Report on Conservation and Science (ARCS) cele- brates the conservation and science-related activities of AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums and certified related facilities.
Each topic included in this report has been carefully defined to maximize consistency of reporting throughout the AZA community. AZA’s Field Conservation and Research and Technology Committees review all of the relevant submissions by members to promote even greater consistency. Field conservation focuses on efforts having a direct impact on animals and habitats in the wild. Education programming includes those with specific goals and delivery methods, defined content, and a clear primary discipline and target audience. Mission-related research projects involve application of the scientific method and is therefore hypothesis (or question)-driven, involves systematic data collection and analysis of those data, and draws conclusions from the research process. Green (sustainable) business practices focus on the annual documentation and usage of energy, fuel for transportation, waste and water, as well as identification of specific green practices being implemented.
Content in ARCS reflects the submissions made through annual surveys available through AZA’s website. The response rate for each 2015 survey was as follows:
»» field conservation – 92%
»» education programming – 62%
»» green business practices – 50%
»» mission-focused research – 64%
AZA is grateful to each member that responded to these surveys.
While 2015 ARCS focuses on individual activities undertaken in 2015, download Highlights (available at: https://www.aza.org/annual-report-on-conservation-and-science/) to learn more about what the AZA community accomplished together.
This Report was compiled by Arslan Ahmad (AZA Program Assistant for Conservation and Science) and Shelly Grow (AZA Director of Conservation Programs). INTERNATIONAL 3
