SEATTLE —

Seattle's Woodland Park Zoo has received the 2008 Significant Achievement Award for International Conservation from the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.

The award is for the zoo's support of the Tarangire Elephant Project. It was presented at the 84th annual AZA Conference held last week in Milwaukee.

The elephant project is one of 35 conservation programs supported by the zoo in more than 40 nations. For 15 years, the project has been studying and protecting the elephants in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park and the surrounding area.
