I have never been to any of these places so I'm simply going by what I have read online. If you have a problem with any of these zoos being on this list, please say so in the comments. I'm hoping people who live in these countries or have been to these zoos will help to fill in the gaps. For zoos that I'm unsure of, I will leave a note saying so. Some countries websites are not in English so it's hard to find accreditation lists. So again, please do your own research before visiting any zoo or wildlife facility. This is due to cultural reasons or lack of resources. For example the South East Asian Zoos Association (SEAZA) is a WAZA member and yet the standards for these zoos is significantly lower than what you will find in Europe, the USA or Japan. Similar standards generally apply across all WAZA members, but keep in mind the standards can be very different depending on what country you are in. This 2011 Washington Post article gives a quick explanation of the standards a facility needs to be an AZA member. For Japan, the Japanese Association of Zoos and Aquariums (JAZA). For the America's you would check the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). So for example if a zoo is in Europe you should check to see if it is a member of the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). You can find all affiliate members listed here. To provide leadership and support for zoos, aquariums, and partner organizations of the world in animal care and welfare, conservation of biodiversity, environmental education and global sustainability. In order to become a member, a facility must meet certain rigid standards. The worldwide membership of WAZA includes more than 330 zoos and aquariums from over 50 countries, associations and affiliate organisations. I will try to make this list almost entirely comprised of World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA) members or their affiliate organization members. If you ever see animals being treated poorly or something that makes you uncomfortable, don't hesitate to ask questions or notify the proper authorities. You want your money to benefit the local community and conservation efforts. It is important to make sure your money is going to a place that treats the animals well and provides education and conservation benefits. People always say Shoebills remind them of Skeksis so check out /r/DarkCrystalĭisclaimer: Always do your own research before visiting a zoo or sanctuary.
