The Tennessee Aquarium is involved in a number of global efforts to protect animals and environments around the world.
AZA-SAFE
The Aquarium is partnering with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) on a new initiative: “Saving Animals From Extinction” (SAFE).
This comprehensive, long-term commitment combines the power of zoo and aquarium visitors with the resources and collective expertise of AZA members and partners to protect animals for future generations. Over time, 100 species will be identified that not only have the most urgent needs in the wild, but these animals are viewed as species that can be helped the most by the experts and assets of zoos and aquariums.
