ABOUT FAZACOLLECTIVE CARE
FAZA members cooperate together and with other AZA-accredited zoos to maintain safe populations of rare animals outside the wild. Because of our warm climate, we often steward large numbers of certain tropical species. For example, almost one-third of the rare reticulated giraffes in North America and white rhinos live in our care. Likewise, FAZA members are responsible for about two thirds of manatees and staghorn coral populations. OVER $122 MILLION TO HELP ANIMALS IN THE WILD Beyond programs like those above, the AZA-accredited and certified institutions of FAZA contribute millions of dollars to helping plants and animals around Florida and the world. FAZA members invested over $122 million dollars to saving species in the wild between 2011 and 2018 (latest figures available until autumn 2020). Of this, over $46 million was devoted to nearly 300 efforts that help Florida species and habitats. MISSION The Florida Association of Zoos and Aquariums is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization representing accredited zoos and aquariums dedicated to the advancement of animal welfare, environmental awareness, and global conservation.
