The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) granted the Columbus Zoo accreditation following an inspection in December, the zoo announced Monday.
“I’m proud of our team, both our staff and our board of directors. We have accomplished so much over the last 18 months," zoo CEO Tom Schmid said in a press release."From restructuring our animal care program to the development of over 30 new financial policies and procedures, we are a much stronger institution today."The AZA revoked the zoo's accreditation in October 2021.
The AZA is the industry's top accrediting body for zoos and aquariums in the United States and a dozen other countries. The AZA's accreditation process helps ensure its member facilities are meeting industry standards that emphasize animal welfare and care, veterinary programs, conservation, education and safety, the AZA's website said. Accredited organizations must go through the accreditation process every five years.
Accredited AZA members also are eligible to participate in animal exchange programs with other member zoos and aquariums and the AZA's animal conservation programs.
