The Rosamond Gifford Zoo is proud to share that we have been officially accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums! AZA accreditation means that our zoo is one of roughly 240 zoological institutions in North America that ethically and effectively maintain animal populations in pursuit of a collective conservation mission. We’ve proudly held this distinction since 1987. By empowering our community through education, our zoo and our partners have the potential to create a more conservation-minded world, where humans consider their role in preserving our shared planet. The member institutions of the AZA are committed to rebuilding animal populations and creating a future for all species. Beyond crucial research contributions, we participate in Species Survival Plans (SSPs), safeguarding the populations of some of the most endangered species on the planet. AZA-accreditation also denotes that the animals entrusted to an institution are treated humanely, and are not being bred for profit nor for trade. This ensures our animals are living in the best possible conditions, and that we are making a positive impact in our local community and the world at large. #WeAreAZA #ConservationInAction #ConservationEducation #SpeciesSurvival #Syracusezoo #Syracuse #CNY #OnondagaCounty #OnondagaCountyParks
