Samsung C&amp;T Resort Group announced that Everland has successfully renewed its accreditation from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), the highest global standard in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AZA accreditation is a recognition few institutions can claim. Out of nearly 2,800 wildlife-related facilities in the United States, fewer than 10 percent are accredited. The rigorous process involves not only meeting standards once, but undergoing a complete review every five years, with criteria that grow more demanding each cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everland, which became the first zoo in Asia to achieve AZA accreditation in 2019 alongside Seoul Grand Park Zoo, underwent its renewal process this year. On the evening of September 14 (KST), the AZA annual conference in Tampa, Florida, confirmed Everland\u2019s reaccreditation, reaffirming its global reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meeting the World\u2019s Highest Standards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The AZA sets stringent requirements that go far beyond basic animal management. To qualify, zoos must demonstrate excellence in animal welfare, operations, staff capabilities, safety, conservation, education, and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From June 10 to 13, AZA inspectors conducted a comprehensive on-site evaluation at Everland. They noted that every member of the organization shares the priority of \u201canimal happiness and endangered species conservation,\u201d embodying Everland\u2019s vision of connecting people and nature for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facilities such as Panda World and Ppuppa Town drew special praise, as did enrichment programs designed to foster natural behaviors. The evaluators also highlighted Everland\u2019s successful project to breed and release whooper swans into the wild. The swans migrated more than 2,300 kilometers to Primorsky Krai in Russia, was highlighted as an exemplary case of endangered species conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-carousel-v2 cb-carousel-block\" data-cb-slides-per-view=\"1\" data-cb-slides-per-group=\"1\" data-cb-space-between=\"20\" data-cb-speed=\"300\" data-cb-navigation=\"true\" data-cb-pagination=\"true\" data-cb-loop=\"true\" data-cb-autoplay=\"true\" data-cb-autoplay-speed=\"3000\" data-cb-breakpoints=\"{&quot;768&quot;:{&quot;slidesPerView&quot;:2,&quot;slidesPerGroup&quot;:1}}\"><div class=\"swiper\"><div class=\"cb-wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-slide-v2 cb-slide swiper-slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/Everland-Earns-AZA-Reaccreditation-Recognized-Among-the-Worlds-Top-Zoos_certificate-2.jpg\" alt=\"Everland Zoo representative stands with an AZA official in a conference room, holding the AZA reaccreditation certificate together and smiling for a commemorative photo.\" class=\"wp-image-52410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/Everland-Earns-AZA-Reaccreditation-Recognized-Among-the-Worlds-Top-Zoos_certificate-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/Everland-Earns-AZA-Reaccreditation-Recognized-Among-the-Worlds-Top-Zoos_certificate-2-500x365.jpg 500w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/Everland-Earns-AZA-Reaccreditation-Recognized-Among-the-Worlds-Top-Zoos_certificate-2-768x561.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Everland Zoo receives AZA reaccreditation certificate during the annual conference held in Tampa, Florida<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cb-slide-v2 cb-slide swiper-slide\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/Everland-Earns-AZA-Reaccreditation-Recognized-Among-the-Worlds-Top-Zoos_certificate.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of the AZA accreditation certificate awarded to Everland Zoo, dated September 14, 2025, featuring the logos of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and SAFE (Saving Animals From Extinction).\" class=\"wp-image-52411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/Everland-Earns-AZA-Reaccreditation-Recognized-Among-the-Worlds-Top-Zoos_certificate.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/Everland-Earns-AZA-Reaccreditation-Recognized-Among-the-Worlds-Top-Zoos_certificate-500x365.jpg 500w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/09\/Everland-Earns-AZA-Reaccreditation-Recognized-Among-the-Worlds-Top-Zoos_certificate-768x561.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The official AZA certificate granted to Everland Zoo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"cb-pagination swiper-pagination\"><\/div><div class=\"cb-button-prev swiper-button-prev\"><\/div><div class=\"cb-button-next swiper-button-next\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expanding International Collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEverland\u2019s continuous efforts for animal happiness and endangered species conservation have once again been recognized on the global stage,\u201d said Jung Dong-hee, Director of Everland Zoo. \u201cWe will continue to develop Everland into a place where both animals and visitors thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reaccreditation marks not just a recognition of past achievements but also a platform for future growth.
