SAFE 

The mission of AZA SAFE: Saving Animals From Extinction is to combine

the power of zoo and aquarium visitors with the resources and collective

expertise of AZA members and partners to save animals from extinction.

 

Together we are saving the most vulnerable wildlife species from
extinction and protecting them for future generations.

 

Zoos and aquariums are leaders in saving species from extinction.

• For decades, AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums have been saving endangered species from extinction. In fact, more than 30 species are currently being saved, including the American bison, the California condor and a variety of aquatic species.

• AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums invest $160 million every year in field conservation work to save animals and their habitats around the world.

• With more than 600 Species Survival Plans® (SSPs) already in place, AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums have the infrastructure to save species.
