At AZA, it was made clear that studbook keepers may continue to use PopLink - at no charge - to submit data to the Population Management Center. It will not be a requirement from AZA or the PMC that studbook keepers use the Species360 product. The PopLink software will continue to be supported.

This is good news for the many studbook keepers working at institutions that have chosen not to use ZIMS, and obviously, for wildlife conservation efforts worldwide!
