About the North American Conservation Award
2009 Award winners will be announced at the AZA Annual Conference, September 12-17, in Portland, OR.
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums names conservation as its highest priority, and recognizes exceptional efforts by AZA Institution, Related Facility or Conservation Partner members toward regional habitat preservation, species restoration, and support of biodiversity in the wild through its North American Conservation Award. Regional efforts include those within the submitting institution's country or local bioclimatic / geographic area which may only include countries outside North American that are contiguous to those areas.
If there is any question as to what constitutes an eligible project, please email Lee Ehmke, Honors and Awards Committee Chairman or call 952-431-9299.
