Species360’s Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS) is the largest source of data on wildlife in human care, recorded and shared by more than 1,300 zoo, aquarium, wildlife refuge, and conservation institutions worldwide.
By integrating Species360 ex situ data into the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species website, the Red List website will now provide a complete image of species population numbers in the wild and in human care.
