Wildlife Conservation and Management Committee (WCMC)

The Wildlife Conservation and Management Committee (WCMC) of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, in conjunction with the AZA Director of Conservation and Science, is responsible for overseeing the captive propagation, animal management, conservation, and scientific efforts of the AZA. The WCMC includes two subcommittees: Studbooks, and Species Survival Plans/Taxon Advisory Groups/Fauna Interest Groups. By recommending changes in existing policies, programs, and organizations, the WCMC and its subcommittees serve as guides for future conservation programs. Our BioPrograms Director, Kevin Willis serves on this national committee.
