European Association of Zoos and Aquaria
Mission statement
EAZA is the Membership organisation that sets the standard for progressive zoos and aquariums and other partners across Europe, Western Asia and beyond. We strive continuously to define and demonstrate excellence in integrated species conservation through a transparent and collaborative approach to population management, wild animal care and welfare, representation with international organisations, conservation education, and scientific research.
We believe that zoos and aquariums have a strong role to play in protecting nature and wildlife both at our institutions and out in the field. By ensuring that our Member zoos and aquariums achieve and maintain the highest standards of care and welfare for the species they keep, EAZA empowers European citizens to learn about and contribute to global biodiversity conservation goals.
