Species360 is a global leader in wildlife care and conservation and a non-profit NGO. The association mobilizes a network of more than 1,200 aquarium, zoo, university, research and government members working across 6 continents and 99 countries.
Best practices in husbandry, enrichment, medical care, welfare, reproduction, population management and biodiversity are the most urgent issues Species360 members discuss.
The Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS), is the world’s most comprehensive database of knowledge on more than 22,000 species, completely curated by Species360 members. The software increases our knowledge of thousands of species and is instrumental in identifying sustainable strategies for many of the species assessed as vulnerable, endangered and extinct in the wild.
ZIMS for Aquatics, ZIMS for Husbandry, ZIMS for Medical, ZIMS for Studbooks, and ZIMS for Education are used to conduct day-to-day programming throughout the wildlife conservation community.
