Support for in situ conservation
Corporate members help fund a number of ARAZPA conservation initiatives.
The ASMP
Through the species management program, 33 ASMP Conservation Programs are run where captive populations are managed directly to provide support for threatened populations in the wild.
The ARAZPA Wildlife Conservation Fund
In addition to the ASMP, ARAZPA has recently established the ARAZPA Wildlife Conservation Fund, dedicated to providing funds solely to in situ conservation projects. The ARAZPA Wildlife Conservation Fund aims to provide a structure for conservation fundraising through public and corporate donations.
To date, fundraising campaigns and events for the Wildlife Conservation Fund have included a televised conservation appeal and a regional conservation lecturer tour, promoting the conservation work of ARAZPA institutions and raising funds for endorsed conservation programs. So far, the ARAZPA Wildlife Conservation Fund has provided funds to support project assisting conservation of Sumatran Tigers, Great Apes, Coxen's Fig Parrot, Tenkile, and Owston's Palm Civet.
Supporting other conservation organisations
ARAZPA also helps fund the IUCN Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, a group working with government bodies and NGOs in countries around the world to help set conservation priorities for threatened species in the wild.
