The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1924 that works to advance zoos and aquariums through conservation, education, science, and recreation. Based in Silver Spring, Maryland, it operates within the Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos sector. The organization aims to support high standards of animal care and meaningful visitor experiences while promoting wildlife conservation and the protection of habitats around the world. Through its accreditation processes and collaborative programs, AZA helps member institutions strengthen their practices and contribute to broader conservation goals. Its customers are the zoos and aquariums that participate as AZA members, relying on the association for accreditation and opportunities to collaborate on conservation and education initiatives. In May 2026, AZA announced a partnership with Mutual of Omaha Insurance Co. to support a Wild Futures Grant Program.
