The
Albuquerque Biological Park is accredited by the American Zoo and
Aquarium Association (AZA). Look for the AZA logo whenever you visit
a zoo or aquarium as your assurance that you are supporting a facility
dedicated to providing excellent care for animals, a great experience
for you and a better future for all living things. With its more
than 200 accredited members, AZA is a leader in global wildlife
conservation and your link to helping animals in their native habitats.
AZA is the leader in establishing and maintaining high standards
for zoos and aquariums through our accreditation process. Accreditation
is a detailed review and inspection process covering all aspects
of an institution's operation including the animal collection; veterinary
care; physical facilities; safety; security; finance; staff; governing
authority; support organization; involvement in education, conservation,
and research; and adherence to AZA policies. To be accredited, an
institution must be a permanent cultural facility which owns and
maintains wildlife, is open to the public on a regular basis and
is under the direction of a professional staff. Accreditation takes
place every five years and is required for zoos and aquariums to
be members of AZA. For more information visit www.aza.org
The Albuquerque Biological Park is a member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums, whose mission is to guide, encourage and support the zoos, aquariums, and like-minded organisations of the world in animal care and welfare, environmental education and global conservation.
