We are building a network among zookeepers in the field of wildlife care and conservation.
Mission
The ICZ will build a worldwide network among zookeepers and other professionals in the field of wildlife care and conservation.
This exchange of experience and knowledge will improve the professionalism of zookeepers for the benefit of the animals under their care and promote awareness and actions that will contribute to the preservation of wildlife everywhere.
Vision
A global network of zookeepers with the highest standards of professional animal care contributing to a diverse and sustainable natural world where neither wild animals nor their habitats are in danger.
