What is the Bear Taxon Advisory Group?
A taxon is a related group of animals such as bears, cats or great apes. A Taxon Advisory Group (TAG) is made up of zoo professionals and other individuals who have special expertise to share, including representatives from other conservation organizations and government wildlife agencies, who work with those specific animals

The Bear Taxon Advisory Group (Bear TAG) looks to the special needs and conservation issues involving the eight bear species of the world. This includes bears in AZA accredited institutions, along with bears from zoos around the world and especially bears in their wild habitats.
