Association of Zoos and Aquariums

Do you know what a zoo or an aquarium is? It's where people can go to see different animals up close!

The Association of Zoos and Aquariums is like a big group that lots of different zoos and aquariums can join. It's kind of like a big club for them!

When a zoo or aquarium becomes part of the AZA, they have to follow certain rules and do certain things to make sure they take care of the animals really well. The AZA helps them do that by giving them guidelines and resources.

The AZA also helps the zoos and aquariums work together to do things like protect animals in the wild and help endangered species.

So, basically, the AZA helps lots of zoos and aquariums be really good at taking care of animals and work together to help animals all over the world!
