The mission of an Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Taxon Advisory Group (TAG) is to examine the sustainability and conservation needs of entire taxa and to develop recommendations for population management and conservation based upon the needs of the species and AZA-accredited institutions. Each TAG coordinates, facilitates, and reviews progress toward goals for its cooperative animal management and conservation programs. The TAG works under the supervision of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Committee (WCMC), manages the AZA Animal Programs (Species Survival Plan® (SSP) Programs and Studbooks) within its purview, and coordinates with other regional and international conservation programs to lead, develop, oversee, promote, evaluate, and support the cooperative animal management, conservation, and scientific initiatives of the TAG.
