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 and play a crucial part in the rescue and restoration efforts for world’s third-largest barrier reef: the Florida Reef Tract. OVER $194 MILLION TO SAVE SPECIES IN THE WILD IN LAST DECADE 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 $194.6 million dollars in saving species in the wild in the last decade alone. Of this, over $95.9 million was devoted to efforts that help Florida species and habitats. MISSION The Florida Association of Zoos and Aquariums is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization representing AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums and related AZA-certified facilities dedicated to the advancement of animal welfare, environmental awareness, and global conservation.
