2010 Annual Report on Conservation Science

2

Introduction AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums serve as conservation centers that are concerned about ecosystem health, take responsibility for species survival, contribute to research, conservation, and education, and provide society the opportunity to develop personal connections with the animals in their care. Whether breeding and re-introducing endangered species; rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing sick and injured animals; maintaining far-reaching educational and outreach programs; or supporting and conducting in-situ and ex-situ research and field conservation projects, zoos and aquariums play a vital role in maintaining our planet’s diverse wildlife and natural habitats while engaging the public to appreciate and participate in conservation. The 2010 Annual Report on Conservation Science (ARCS) focuses exclusively on those conservation projects that have a direct impact on animals in the wild. Data was submitted by 175 of AZA’s 239 accredited institutions and certified-related facilities who collectively spent $130 million via direct participation or financial support of over 1,970 projects in over 100 countries! This report lists these projects, by location and by institution. This report was compiled by Shelly Grow (AZA Senior Conservation Biologist) and Rebecca Greenberg (AZA Program Assistant), with significant data collection and analysis support from AZA’s Field Conservation Committee, Elisa Caballero (AZA Volunteer Intern) and Rachel Rees (AZA Temporary Staff). This report, along with those from previous years, is available on the AZA Website at: http://www.aza.org/annual-report-on-conservation-and-science/.
