What is the American Association of Zoo Keepers?
The Los Angeles Chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers is an organization committed to professional development and providing animal keepers with opportunities to raise money for animal conservation. Fundraisers held at AAZK chapters throughout the nation have generated both money and awareness for various conservation programs around the globe. One such fundraiser, Bowling for Rhinos, has raised well over nine million dollars to help save rhinos in Asia and Africa!
Today’s animal keeper is both equipped and passionate about the role they play in maintaining the physical and psychological well-being of the animals in their care. The Los Angeles AAZK Chapter was reinstated in 2007. This Chapter is committed to professional development. In order to learn from others and share our experiences we have set up professional meetings with animal keepers from other institutions around the Southern California area. LA/AAZK has raised several thousands of dollars for several conservation organizations around the world- including $1,000 for Elephant Conservation in Cambodia, $450,000 for Rhino Conservation in Africa and Southeast Asia, over $20,000 for Giraffe Conservation in the wild and $4,500 for Gorilla Conservation in Central Africa. |
