​AZA Elephants

Elephants in AZA-accredited zoos offer enormous educational experiences to visitors. Seeing elephants in real life fosters a greater appreciation of these majestic animals and encourages people to learn more about them. Because we all have the responsibility to protect elephants and other wildlife, by visiting and supporting your local zoo, you play a role in helping to conserve these species.
