Education Programs
EDUCATION ACTIVITIES
Overall GuidelinesThe role of animals in any particular educational activity in zoos and aquariums is acceptable only if the program promises to contribute to the understanding of fundamental biological and ecological principles; the development of knowledge that can reasonably be expected to benefit the animals, their environments, and humans; or that contributes to the understanding of environmental principles and issues with the goal of changing human behavior. These are outcomes of the process we define here as Education.
To ensure that the evaluation of both activities and outcomes takes place on a formal basis, a defined process for describing activities and assessing results has been adopted by CAZA for all CAZA accredited zoos and aquariums.
