European Amphibian and Reptile Keepers Association EU-ARK
The EU Association of Reptile Keepers (EU–ARK) is a science, animal welfare and education based advocacy for the responsible ownership of, and trade and exchange in herps and related species. We endorse caging standards, sound husbandry, escape prevention protocols, and an integrated approach to vital conservation issues.
Our goal is to facilitate cooperation between government agencies, the scientific community, and the private sector in order to produce policy proposals that will effectively address important animal welfare, husbandry and conservation issues. The health of these animals, public safety, and maintaining ecological integrity are our primary concerns.
