BIAZA - British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums.  BIAZA is a conservation education and scientific wildlife charity, which acts as the principal professional zoo body representing the responsible zoo and aquarium community in the UK.
With 100 members, its role is to develop and spread best practice within the UK and international zoo community, combining lobbying and campaigning with the development of policy in collaboration with the government and scientific organizations. BIAZA members pride themselves on their excellent animal welfare, education and conservation work. They support around 700 projects every year by providing financial support in excess of £10 million and by supplying skills, staff and equipment for conservation programmes worldwide.
Love Your Zoo Week The Love Your Zoo campaign was launched last year by the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA). Its aim is to encourage people to visit their local BIAZA zoos and aquariums and to not only have a great day out, but also learn just how much they do for conservation, education and research. Zoos, aquariums and wildlife centres across the UK will be taking part again this year and will be putting on a fortnight of fun activities for you and your family. Let us know how you enjoyed the week by emailing admin@biaza.org.uk or visiting our Facebook or Twitter Page. |
