The ultimate Well-being & Ethics Assessment


PAAZAB-BCRE is strongly engaged to support African animal facilities to evolve and improve their care and welfare for their animals. With its new Welfare & Ethics assessment, PAAZAB-BCRE offers African facilities a more efficient and involved tool to assess their own practices.

Care

Animal care basics are needed to maintain any animal is captivity. This is the foundation of any Welfare Assessment, and as such it is included in PAAZAB-BCRE new Welfare Assessment.

Welfare

Our welfare assessment is based on the very best of scientific advances on Animal Welfare, such as the Five Domains model and its recent updates. It is also based on regional specific legislative requirements.

Ethics

Ethics have been at the forefront of new welfare advances. However, most welfare assessments don’t include ethics. PAAZAB-BCRE new Welfare Assessment also covers the ethics advances and requirements that will most probably be needed in the near future by governments and associations alike.

This assessment will prove your facility’s commitment to good husbandry practices, care, welfare and ethics. The PAAZAB-BCRE certification is a must have for any African wildlife facility wishing to exchange animals internationally and comply with CITES requirements.
