SSP Programs:
As an accredited AZA institution, we are actively involved in the Species Survival Plans (SSPs) for several selected animals. These animals are part of a cooperative population management and conservation program involving many institutions and agencies. These animals are specifically managed in order to ensure healthy, self-sustaining populations that maintain maximum genetic diversity and are demographically stable. SSP animals are designated by Taxon Advisory groups (TAG), who are designated managers for particular taxa of animals (apes, lizards, marine mammals, etc.) develop a more holistic cooperative approach to the management of a species.
