2013 Annual Report on Conservation and Science INTRODUCTION 2
2013 Annual Report on Conservation and Science Highlights
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) 2013 Annual Report on Conservation and Science (ARCS) celebrates the activities of AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums and certified related facilities in the following areas:
»» field conservation »» mission-related research
»» education programming »» sustainable (green) business practices
Each of these areas has been carefully defined to maximize consistency of reporting and enhance data quality. 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. Sustainable (green) business practices cover related staff support, purchasing policies, and education and outreach initiatives, as well as the management of six key resources: chemicals, energy, fuel, waste, water, and construction.
While previous reports focused exclusively on field conservation, this is the first year all four of these areas are featured. Because of the history of reporting field conservation efforts, readers of this report will notice a discrepancy in response rates between field conservation (over 86 percent response rate) and the three new areas (approximately 52 percent for each area). AZA fully anticipates that response rates in future reports will increase across the four areas as the AZA community becomes more familiarized with the related data collection and reporting processes.
While 2013 ARCS focuses on individual activities undertaken in 2013, 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 Shelly Grow (AZA Director of Conservation Programs), Nette Pletcher (AZA Director of Conservation Education) and AZA Conservation and Science Interns Margeaux Malone and Simone Osseiran. INTERNATIONAL 3
