NORTH AMERICAN BISON ©THINKSTOCK PHOTOS 2 CONNECT May 2014 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO he Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) represents the gold standard for zoos and president Taquariums in the United States. The Association is actively engaged in ensuring that federal, state and local government policies fully support accredited zoos and aquariums and that your representatives fully understand the value AZA-accredited facilities bring to their communities. More than 180 million people visit AZA-accredited institutions annually in the United States, and direct spending by those institutions contributed $13.2 billion to the United States GDP. It’s a compelling story, and the involvement of AZA members plays an important part in the telling of the tale. AZA has the resources and expertise to help you communicate effectively with Congress, federal agencies and state and local government, but it is your voice that carries the real weight. AZA works throughout the year to build strong relationships with members of Congress and various federal agencies and to keep you informed about important federal and state legislation that affects the AZA community. Each spring we invite you to Washington, D.C., to bring your federal officials personal stories about the AZA-accredited facilities in their districts and states. This year’s advocacy events on Capitol Hill took place on May 6th and 7th, with the AZA signature & Capitol Hill reception being a real highlight. A sincere thank you goes out to all those who participated – the conservation, education and economic impact stories you told resonate deeply with members of Congress. ceo In addition, the bipartisan Congressional Zoo and Aquarium Caucus now stands at more than 80 members, with new members continuing to join. The Caucus holds briefings and assists AZA members in sharing information on Capitol Hill. Our collective footprint touches 166 Congressional Districts across the country, but just 56 of those are members of the Caucus. Is your U.S. Representative one of those not a part of the Caucus? I challenge you to find out, and if they have not joined the Caucus, please invite them to do so. I also wanted to share with you that the Association recently hired Rob Vernon as its senior vice president of external af- fairs. Many of you met Rob in Memphis at the AZA Mid-Year Meeting. He has extensive Capitol Hill and state government experience, and will be working closely with AZA’s government affairs staff to enhance dialogue between government and AZA members. Prior to joining AZA, Rob worked as an executive director at global public relations firm GolinHarris’ Washington, D.C., office. At GolinHarris, Rob provided both traditional and social media communications and public policy counsel to a variety of clients, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Infosys, the Florida Lottery, Sargento Foods and the National Industries for the Blind. Rob is a valuable addition to the AZA team, and I hope you will reach out to him with any ideas you might have. Building and cultivating relationships with federal, state and local government officials is vital in today’s sophisticated and rapidly changing world of communications. If you have not done so recently, I encourage you to visit the AZA Legislative Education Center on the AZA website (www.aza.org) and learn how AZA can help you communicate effectively with all levels of government.

  • 2009 Conservation Impact Report

    2009 Conservation Impact Report

    2009 Conservation Impact Report Introduction AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums serve as conservation centers that are concerned about ecosystem health, take responsibility for species survival, contribute to research, conservation, and education, and provide society the opportunity to develop personal connections with the animals in their care. Whether breeding and re-introducing endangered species, rescuing and rehabilitating sick and injured animals, maintaining far-reaching educational and outreach programs or supporting and conducting in-situ and ex-situ research and field conservation projects, zoos and aquariums play a vital role in maintaining our planet’s diverse wildlife and natural habitats while engaging the public to appreciate and participate in conservation. In 2009, 127 of AZA’s 238 accredited institutions and certified-related facilities contributed data for the 2009 Conservation Impact Report. A summary of the 1,762 conservation efforts these institutions participated in within ~60 countries is provided. In addition, a list of individual projects is broken out by state and zoological institution. This report was compiled by Shelly Grow (AZA Conservation Biologist) as well as Jamie Shockley and Katherine Zdilla (AZA Volunteer Interns). This report, along with those from previous years, is available on the AZA Web site at: http://www.aza.org/annual-report-on-conservation-and-science/. 2009 AZA Conservation Projects Grevy's Zebra Trust ARGENTINA National/International Conservation Support CANADA Temaiken Foundation Health
