Conservation strategies

Turning the Tide: A Global Aquarium Strategy for Conservation and Sustainability (WAZA, 2009) is the detailed response of the international aquarium community to the, more general, World Zoo and Aquarium Conservation Strategy published by the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums (WAZA, 2005). The structure of Turning the Tide follows chapter sequence and headline statements made in the original WZACS.

"Building a future for wildlife" is the slogan of the World Zoo and Aquarium Conservation Strategy. Modern zoos and aquariums are playing an increasingly active and important role in conserving species in their natural habitat. This richly illustrated book provides an overview of the partners, approaches and achievements of the world zoo and aquarium community in wildlife conservation.

Based on the book "People, plants, and justice: the politics of nature conservation". It represents an attempt to articulate some of the insights, key themes, and unsettled questions linked to market-based conservation that are more fully explored in "People, plants, and justice."
