Who
We Are:
The Crocodilian Advisory Group (CAG) is the Association of Zoo
and Aquarium's first and oldest taxon advisory group, sanctioned
by the AZA's World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC) in 1986.
This elite group of zoo and aquarium professionals specializes
in captive management, education, and conservation of the world's
crocodilian species and provides their expertise in husbandry,
breeding, educational programs, and captive management for zoo
and aquariums worldwide. Captive breeding can be a powerful conservation
tool for the critically endangered species. Our greatest challenge
to date has been the marshalling of the necessary space and resources
for the captive management of imperiled crocodilian species. Cognizant
of this situation, the CAG feels compelled to redirect its attention
to include more focus on education and the promotion of in-situ
conservation efforts.
