AFdPZ Conservation

AFdPZ Conservation is a french professional association for zoos. Founded in 1969, it seeks to network zoological establishments with the aim of conservation, education, animal welfare, and sustainable development.

Its main activity is in situ conservation, that is to say in the natural environment. The association applies itself to the identification of threats and the search for solutions that take into account all the needs of the populations of space. From regulations, to education, to passing by the protection and restoration of habitats, or even from access to sustainable alternative income, AFdPZ Conservation's actions are very diversified.

Unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult to fight against the pressures impacting the survival of species in their natural habitat. This is why the organization also implements ex situ conservation. Thus, AFdPZ Conservation, with the help of zoological parks, saves more than a thousand wild animals each year (animals seized, abandoned, injured, etc.).
