The objectives of Aviornis International are:

• To support and co-operate with other organisations on scientific programs to preserve bird species that have become nearly extinct.
• To stimulate (inter)national exchange of young birds in order to keep genetically healthy stocks of each species.
• To help our members with advice and information on the husbandry and breeding management of the wide diversity of bird species.

The European Association of Zoos and Aquaria is the largest zoo and aquarium association in the world, with 326 members in 36 countries. It provides membership services and leadership to those zoos and aquaria, promoting the association mission aims of conservation, education and research. EAZA members receive 140 million visitors a year.

It has also focused on the complexities of European carnivores and their existence in a crowded continent. Additionally the geographic areas of the Atlantic Coastal Forest in Brazil and Madagascar have been dedicated campaigns. To date more than 4 million Euro has been raised via the campaigns for in situ conservation of biodiversity. In addition EAZA coordinates 342 ex situ conservation breeding programmes. EAZA members formally teach more than 5 million European children a year about biodiversity.

EAZA’s mission is to facilitate cooperation within the European zoo and aquarium community towards the goals of education, research and conservation.

Our conservation activities and those of our members are underscored by our shared commitment to the preservation of biodiversity. We work closely with many other agencies, including WAZA and IUCN, to ensure that we can leverage the expertise and resources of our community towards achieving the furtherance of wildlife conservation, through internationally coordinated breeding programmes of wild animals and in situ conservation.
