2nd WAZA Animal Welfare Evaluation Summit

In July, WAZA hosted the 2 nd Animal Welfare Evaluation Summit, which brought representatives from regional and national zoo and aquarium associations around the world to Barcelona, Spain, for the two-day event. The main focus was on the 2023 Animal Welfare Goal, and participants worked on further developing and refining the goal. As a result of this event, a proposal was submitted to the WAZA Council with recommendations on key elements for the development and implementation of the WAZA-approved animal

welfare evaluation process.

WAZA would like to thank the associations for attending the event and playing a vital role in shaping the goal.
