Ex situ conservation: a strategic tool
Faced with the erosion of aquatic biodiversity, aquariums play an essential role in species conservation. UCA member institutions are committed to ex situ conservation programs aimed at maintaining and breeding threatened species.
These programs help preserve the genetic diversity of populations and safeguard critically endangered species. They are based on rigorous scientific protocols and coordinated population management.
Aquariums participate in international breeding networks, ensuring effective cooperation between institutions. This organization optimizes the exchange of individuals and ensures the sustainability of species.
Concrete actions to protect natural environments
In addition to conservation in captivity, aquariums are involved in in situ conservation actions. They support habitat protection projects, ecosystem restoration, and wild population monitoring.
Their technical and scientific expertise provides valuable support for field practitioners. They contribute to the implementation of conservation programs at different scales, from local to international.
Furthermore, aquariums play a key role in public awareness. By highlighting the fragility of aquatic environments, they encourage responsible behavior
