2016Annual Report on Conservation and Science
2INTRODUCTION
2016 Annual Report on Conservation and Science
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) 2016 Annual Report on Conservation and Science (ARCS)
celebrates the conservation and science-related activities of AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums and
certified related facilities.
Each topic included in this report has been carefully defined to maximize consistency of reporting
throughout the AZA community. AZA’s Field Conservation Committee and Research and Technology
Committee review all of the relevant submissions by members to promote even greater consistency. Field
conservation focuses on efforts having a direct impact on animals and habitats in the wild. Education
programming includes those with specific goals and delivery methods, defined content and a clear primary
discipline and target audience. Mission-focused research projects involve application of the scientific
method and is therefore hypothesis (or question)-driven, involves systematic data collection and analysis of
those data and draws conclusions from the research process. Green (sustainable) business practices focus on
the annual documentation and usage of key resources: energy, fuel for transportation, waste and water, as
well as identification of specific green practices being implemented.
Content in ARCS reflects the submissions made through annual surveys available through AZA’s website.
The response rate for each 2016 survey was as follows:
» field conservation – 89%
» education programming – 62%
» green business practices – 63%
» mission-focused research – 74%
AZA is grateful to each member that responded to these surveys.
While 2016 ARCS focuses on individual activities undertaken in 2016, download Highlights (available at:
https://www.aza.org/annual-report-on-conservation-and-science/) to learn more about what the AZA
community accomplished together.
This Report was compiled by Arslan Ahmad (AZA Conservation and Science Program Assistant), Shelly
Grow (AZA Vice President of Conservation and Science) and AZA Conservation, Management and Welfare
Sciences Interns Adele Paillard, Sarah Farinelli and MC Mandolia.
