Columbus Zoo Conservation Report


To meet American Zoo and Aquarium Association (AZA) standards, member institutions must include conservation as a key element in their mission statement. Some facilities now produce annual conservation reports that show how the institution is helping conserve wild populations.

The above is an annual conservation report from the Columbus Zoo, a leader in in situ (range country) conservation. The beautifully illustrated booklet features the bonobo. AZA zoos and aquariums are supporting sustainable biodiversity and are sharing their stories with members and visitors.
