Paramus NJ, the Bergen County Zoo has officially received its re-accreditation designation from the Association of Zoos & Aquariums’ independent Accreditation Commission. This is a major achievement could not have been possible if not for the hard work put in by the Zoo and the Bergen County Department of Parks staff. I stopped by the Zoo this week to congratulate the staff.

To be accredited, the Bergen County Zoo underwent a thorough review to make certain it has and will continue to meet ever-rising standards in categories which include animal care and welfare, veterinary programs, conservation, education, and safety. AZA requires zoos and aquariums to successfully complete this rigorous accreditation process every five years in order to be members of the Association.
