European Endangered Species Programme

The European Endangered Species Programme (EEP) is a conservation initiative aimed at managing and protecting endangered animal species in Europe. Operated by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA), it focuses on breeding endangered species in zoos and aquariums to ensure their survival. The program promotes genetic diversity, supports research, and collaborates with conservation organizations to restore natural habitats. By raising awareness and educating the public about these species, the EEP seeks to prevent extinction and contribute to biodiversity preservation across Europe and beyond.
