A self-assessment checklist for zoo directors and accreditation coordinators preparing for Association of Zoos and Aquariums inspection. Covers the AZA accreditation standards across all domains — animal care and welfare, veterinary programme, safety and security, guest services, education and interpretation, conservation participation, governance and finance, and physical facility condition.

AZA accreditation is the gold standard for zoos and aquariums, covering over 2,500 standards. Losing accreditation affects Species Survival Plan participation, inter-zoo transfers, grant eligibility, and public trust. This checklist covers the most frequently cited areas, helping facilities identify gaps before the visiting committee arrives.
