EAZA

EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquariums)

Since 1993, Jurques Zoo has achieved European recognition by becoming a member of the EAZA, which enables it to participate in European programmes for the breeding of endangered species such as the Siberian tiger, the South American tapir and the snow leopard.
Animal parks participate actively in the ecological equilibrium of the planet’s fauna.
When a park wishes to present a new species, it refers to the E.A.Z.A., which has the mission of promoting all sorts of cooperation for the purpose of advancing conservation of the natural milieu via E.E.P.s
The EAZA puts the park in contact with the coordinator for the species concerned. The coordinator inspects the applicant park’s infrastructures in order to assess whether they are well adapted and checks their compliance with standards.
