Accreditation Benefits
The PASA accreditation process ensures wildlife centers maintain high standards of animal care and demonstrate excellence in all areas of operations, which adds confidence to donors and partners and elevates the reputation of centers as experts in their fields. The main goals of our accreditation are to help the wildlife centers provide excellent animal care, run effective conservation programs, and manage sustainable organizations.
