Another good organization is AZA - The American Zoo and Aquarium organization. http://www.aza.org/ . The Audubon zoo in New Orleans is one of the best zoos I've ever seen anywhere; I hope they can recover.

It's certainly the best zoo I've been to--the bayou section was particularly cool, with the local wildlife. I went there 20 years ago with my boyfriend.

So far they seem OK - from http://www.aza.org/Newsroom/hurricaneupdate/ Audubon Zoo AZA has gotten an update on the Audubon Zoo situation from Dr. Betsy Dresser, director of the Audubon Center for the Research in Endangered Species facility. A crew of 12 are on site at the Zoo. She reports that they are in good spirits. They have supplies and currently the generators are operational. They do not believe there is a need to move the animals from the Zoo at present. The Zoo is coordinating its future supply needs through Dr. Dresser, who is working with the AZA.
