Introduction
ZooBorns showcases the newest and cutest baby animals at accredited zoos and aquariums around the world. However these adorable youngsters are much more than just cute, furry faces.
Baby animals born at zoos and aquariums represent new hope for their species in the wild. By studying rare or elusive species, zoo and aquarium researchers develop new conservation strategies for wild populations. Conservation breeding programs support reintroduction efforts and also help build assurance populations in the event that a species goes extinct in the wild.
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) oversees Species Survival Plans for over 170 species, which includes identifying population management goals and making recommendations to ensure the long term sustainability of a healthy, genetically diverse, and demographically varied population.
