Cameron Park Zoo Amphibian Conservation Award

The Cameron Park Zoo Amphibian Conservation Award was established by ZCOG and Cameron Park Zoo in recognition of the growing threat of extinction faced by many amphibian species native to the Americas. The Award promotes professional training in amphibian biology, conservation, and captive management for zoo and aquarium colleagues from countries in Latin America and the Caribbean Basin. Award recipients receive full scholarship funding to participate in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ (AZA) Amphibian Biology and Conservation Management professional training course. Employees or associates of Latin American zoological institutions or conservation organizations may apply. Preference is given to individuals demonstrating past or present involvement in cooperative captive breeding programs or field conservation efforts with AZA member institutions or other regional partners. The Cameron Park Zoo of Waco, Texas , provides funding for this annual scholarship award.
