[Species360: Global information serving conservation]With the most current, comprehensive, and reliable base of knowledge on animals available, Species360 is a global leader in conservation. In partnership with our members, Species360 is addressing looming threats to wildlife including habitat loss, illegal trade, exploitation, climate change, and disease. Species360 has the data that can save species. Through our signature Zoological Management Information System (ZIMS), Species360 has built the world-standard zoological data collection and sharing software, providing instant access to global data on more than 22,000 species and ten million individual animals. ZIMS was developed expressly for organizations managing complex animal populations, and it enables our more than 1,100 members to not only provide best-in-class animal and aquatics care, but to access the best data available and inform vital research. [Better data means better decisions and better outcomes]Every day, ZIMS advances animal care decisions in more than 95 countries. As wild populations continue to dwindle, zoos and aquariums are uniquely positioned to tackle these issues. Independently, and in collaboration with academic, government and conservation institutions, zoos and aquariums are conducting groundbreaking research – with the help of Species360. Access to reliable data from around the world is critical for improving our collective understanding of the needs of various species, including some of the most critically-endangered species. Sharing information and knowledge is crucial to preserving the genetic diversity, health and welfare of threatened species.Species360 – a nonprofit, non-governmental organization – is trusted by regulatory bodies, regional associations, and universities around the world. Our Zoological Management Information System is accepted and preferred by leading organizations such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the United Kingdom’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, among others.
