The mission of The American Association of Zoo Keepers is to advance excellence in the animal keeping profession, foster effective communication beneficial to animal care, support deserving conservation projects, and promote the preservation of our natural resources and animal life.

A chapter of the American Association of Keepers,  Dallas AAZK is a non-profit organization dedicated to professional animal care.  AAZK also acts as a resource for keepers and other animal care and zoo professionals to find information about education, animal care, conservation, enrichment and training.  Please take time to visit some of the exciting conservation efforts at the Dallas Zoo.
