Conservation Impact
Over 134 million people visit AZA accredited zoos and aquariums every
year and by doing so they are helping to support the urgent conservation
work these organizations are doing every day locally, nationally and
internationally. On average, AZA members annually participate
in over 2,000 conservation projects including in about 100 countries. AZA member institutions also published
over a thousand books, book chapters, journal articles, conference proceedings

Locally, Caribbean Gardens supports a diversity of conservation projects
from local work with the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge and
the Native Orchid Restoration Project to ocelots in Brazil and clouded
