Here is an association I have not heard of before now: SEZARC. It stands for South-East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction and Conservation. Based on my quick glance of their website, it appears they are a consortium of zoological facilities in the southeast United States that focus on learning how to help exotic animals reproduce (assuming they don't easily do so in captivity). SEZARC - Animal Reproduction, Conservation, Collaboration
A quick google shows that the organisation was founded in 2010, at the White Oak Conservation Center.
