EAZA Website
This page highlights new features and additions on the EAZA website: www.eaza.net
Members
The ‘Members’ section (formerly ‘Zoos’ section) has
recently been transformed and now includes detailed information
on the EAZA membership. This section is divided
into two subsections ‘Membership’ and ‘Zoos & Aquaria’.
Membership
If you choose ‘Membership’‚ in the top menu of the
Members section, you will find detailed information on
EAZA membership. A short introduction on the standards
and accreditation procedure is provided and the five EAZA
membership categories are introduced. The development
of EAZA membership since the establishment of the organisation
in 1988 is provided in a graphic.
Zoos & Aquaria
All EAZA full and associate members are listed in this
section (click on ‘Zoos & Aquaria’ in the top menu)
and in most cases a link to their websites is provided.
The members are ordered by country and can be reached
by clicking on a country in the map of Europe. A table
providing an overview of all EAZA members located in the
selected country, sorted by alphabetical order of the city
in which the institution is located, will then appear.
Recently the EAZA shortnames have been added to the
EAZA members lists (the left-most column in the table).
The EAZA shortnames provide a valuable tool for searching
through lists, records or files of EAZA member institutions
(for example the Address List and the EAZA Available
and Wanted List Online). The shortname is based upon
a system of 15 uppercased characters reflecting the nearest
city in which the institution is located. In case of multiple
institutions in one city the location names are completed
by other identifiers. e.g. ZOO, AQUA or PARK. This same
system is also applied to the national and regional zoo
associations, and other organisations; these now all have
the prefix FED (for associations) or ORG (for other organisations)
included in their shortnames.
The third option (‘Member Area’) in the top menu of the
‘Members’ section will lead you to the login screen to
access the EAZA website member area. A personal login
name and password is needed to access this area. Please,
let us remind you that an EAZA zoo director (or the institution’s
main EAZA contact person) can create passwords
allowing the zoo’s staff to access the member area.
m e m b e r a r e a
The member area continues to evolve. It currently contains
the sections Committees, TAGs, Service, Addresses and,
depending on the level of access, also the Available
and Wanted List Online. These sections are updated and
expanded continuously (see ‘What’s new’ on the homepage
for the latest additions). We would now like to highlight
a useful section for all staff working in EAZA member
institutions: ‘Addresses’.
Addresses
In the member area you can find ‘Addresses’ by clicking on
this option in the top menu. This section provides you with the:
• EAZA Contact Details. Here you will find the EAZA
Executive Office staff contact details;
• EAZA member institutions Address List. This list
(pdf-format) provides you with the contact details of
all EAZA members, sorted by country and shortnames.
Updates are provided on a regular basis;
• Directory Updates. In addition to the EAZA member
Addresses List this overview provides information on the
latest changes in the EAZA members’ contact details;
• TAG, EEP, ESB Contact Details. This is the most recent
addition to the ‘Addresses’ section. This list contains
information on TAG chairs, EEP coordinators and ESB
studbook keepers.
We kindly request all relevant parties to keep us up-to-date
on any address changes.
