The Global Network of Zoos: Collaboration for Conservation

Zoos worldwide are increasingly collaborating to address global conservation challenges. This network of institutions shares resources, expertise, and genetic material to strengthen conservation efforts for endangered species. Programs such as the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) facilitate these partnerships, allowing zoos to coordinate breeding programs and conservation projects across borders.

Through these collaborations, zoos can pool resources for habitat restoration, species reintroduction, and anti-poaching initiatives. They often work alongside local communities and governments to ensure that conservation efforts are culturally appropriate and sustainable. By fostering international cooperation, zoos enhance their impact on global biodiversity, demonstrating that collective action is essential for meaningful conservation.
