The International Species Information System (ISIS) is an international non-profit organization serving zoos and aquariums worldwide. ISIS provides its members with zoological data collection and sharing software, used by more than 800 zoos and aquariums in almost 80 countries. The ISIS database contains information on 2.4 million animals of 10,000 species. ISIS members use the basic biologic information (age, sex, parentage, place of birth, circumstance of death, etc.) collected in the ISIS system to care for and manage their animal collections (including demographic and genetic management in many cases).
The CEO of ISIS is Roger Stonecipher.
