Regional Species Plans
All taxa in EAZA member's care are managed by Taxon Advisory Groups (TAGs) and have objectives set to help their conservation both in our zoos and aquariums and in their natural habitats. These objectives are outlined in the Regional Species Plans (RSPs) developed by EAZA's experts in collaboration with external partners.
Regional Species Plans
Regional Species Plan (RSP) follow the IUCN One Plan Approach and are developed with EAZA Experts in collaboration with external partners. The IUCN Guidelines on the Use of Ex situ Management for Species Conservation, that EAZA applies, define how zoos and aquariums can directly support the conservation of a species.
Each of EAZA’s 42 Taxon Advisory Groups (TAGs), gathering some of the most knowledgeable people for each group of species like songbirds or reptiles or insects, analyses these roles for their taxon and recommends which of the species should get the highest level of management through an EAZA Ex Situ Programme (EEP).
Below are RSP documents that outline a summary of the decisions taken.
