We’re proud to announce that Verdis Group is now a corporate member of the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA)! Read the WAZA press release here.

We’re thrilled to be joining this global alliance of regional associations, national federations, zoos, and aquariums dedicated to the care and conservation of animals and their habitats around the world. WAZA zoos and aquariums are paving the way for a more sustainable future in which animals, people, and the health of the planet can thrive. 

Zoos and aquariums are respected and trusted voices for conservation and, increasingly, for sustainability. WAZA members are cultivating a sustainable future for animals, people, and the planet. From WAZA’s 10-year Sustainability Strategy to the WAZA guides on greenhouse gas emissions, forests, plastic, and palm oil, this global community is already making incredible strides in protecting our planet.

Verdis Group is the proud partner of 21 WAZA member zoos and aquariums in North America. Our mission to co-create a thriving and resilient world aligns with WAZA’s conservation and sustainability values, and we can’t wait to begin cultivating partnerships to contribute to a big impact together.

Having collaborated on collective impact projects with the Aquarium Conservation Partnership (ACP) and members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), we recognize the potential for further collective impact at WAZA. Creating industry-wide resources and tools can rapidly replicate successful sustainability efforts across the globe. We’re thrilled to be joining this community and look forward to co-creating a thriving and resilient world by catalyzing climate action.

By the way – we’re attending the 79th WAZA Annual Conference next week in Sydney, Australia! We’re looking forward to connecting with brilliant professionals from across the globe to discuss sustainability. Contact Daniel Lawse to meet in person at the conference: daniel@verdisgroup.com
