ARAZPA is a non-profit organisation dedicated to:

• promoting professional standards in zoos and aquariums, and
• directing zoo and aquarium resources to the conservation of biodiversity.

We are a membership organisation, made up both of institutional members (zoos and aquaria) and individual members (staff of zoological institutions). We have members in Australia, New Zealand, and some of the South Pacific islands.

One of the Association’s principle roles is in coordinating the joint activities of member zoos to manage their animal collections sustainably and for conservation. This is coordinated through the Australasian Species Management Program.

ARAZPA also has a key role in communication, data management and advocacy, involving liaising with both government and other non-government agencies.

The ARAZPA executive office consists of a small team of seven people, with an additional two staff working in our New Zealand office.
