EAZA Ex situ Programmes (EEPs) are population management programmes for over 500 animal species, coordinated by experts from EAZA Membership. They are the cornerstone of teamwork and collaborative efforts in the EAZA community. The aim of EEPs is to have and maintain healthy and thriving populations of healthy animals within EAZA and beyond.

The EAZA Ex-situ Programme (EEP) is a population management and conservation programme by European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) for wild animals living in European zoos. The programme was formerly known as the European Endangered Species Programme. [1] Each EEP has a coordinator who is assisted by a species committee.

What is an EEP? Breeding programmes, such as the European Endangered Species Programmes (EEP), aim at conserving healthy populations of animals in captivity while safeguarding the genetic health of the animals under our care.

Founded in 1992, the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) is the world’s largest regional zoo and aquarium organisation, with more than 400 Members in Europe, Western Asia and beyond.

The RCP process informs which species EAZA will actively manage across its Member zoos and aquariums as part of an EAZA Ex situ Programme (EEP). Each EEP will then develop its own tailor-made Long-Term Management Plan (LTMP), which outlines the strategy towards achieving the species-specific goals set as part of the RCP process.

The species to be managed as EAZA Ex situ Programmes (EEPs) as well as their roles are defined jointly by experts from the zoo community and their partners from the field during the Regional Species Plan process. More than 500 species are covered by an EEP.

The breeding of elephants in Europe is supervised by the EEP, The European Endangered Species Programme within the EAZA. There are presently about 500 Asian, and less than 300 African, captive elephants in Europe.

The underlying concern is to ensure that the population under human care remains genetically healthy. This enables zoos to exchange animals to the benefit of all. European Endangered Species Programs (EEPs) are coordinated by the EAZA, the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria. The preliminary step of any EEP is to keep a European studbook ...
