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 in 1986. This elite group of zoo and aquarium professionals specializes in captive management, education, and conservation of the world’s crocodilian species; they provide their expertise in husbandry, breeding, educational programs, and captive management for zoo and aquariums worldwide.
The CAG’s mission is to promote conservation of the world’s crocodilians and their habitats through species management, education, and research.
Through the CAG’s fundraising efforts, they have partnered with other groups (IUCN Crocodile Specialist Group, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the Gharial Conservation Alliance) to support conservation, research, and education projects internationally. Some of these include:
