Austrian Zoo Association

Austrian Zoo Association

The Austrian zoo organization (Österreichische Zoo Organisation) is the union of the Austrian, scientifically lead zoos, which keep to the international guidelines of the EAZA (European Association of Zoos and Aquaria).

Member zoos of the OZO fulfill in particular the following criteria:

*High quality in animal husbandry
*Participation in kind preservation and nature protection projects
*Partaking in research activities for the preservation of the diversity of species

A goal of this organization is the conversion of the European Union zoo directive in Austria, in order to ensure the protection of animals living in the wild and in zoos, with regulations for the operations and monitoring of zoos.
