2INTRODUCTION
2015 Annual Report on Conservation and Science
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) 2015 Annual Report on Conservation and Science (ARCS) cele-
brates 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 and Research and Technology Committees
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-related 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 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 2015 survey was as follows:
» field conservation – 92%
» education programming – 62%
» green business practices – 50%
» mission-focused research – 64%
AZA is grateful to each member that responded to these surveys.
While 2015 ARCS focuses on individual activities undertaken in 2015, 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 Program Assistant for Conservation and Science) and
Shelly Grow (AZA Director of Conservation Programs).
