PROTECTING WILDLIFE
NEAR AND FAR
Conservation encompasses protecting and saving wild places and wild things from extinction. Our history of work has focused on helping to repopulate native ranges – such as the California bald eagle, rare amphibian and reptile species. We also work cooperatively with accredited institutions to ensure a healthy and sustainable population of endangered species living in North America and work in tandem with our global partners on in situ conservation programs.
The mission of San Francisco Zoo & Gardens is to connect all people with wildlife, inspire caring for nature and advance conservation action.
Open 365 days a year, San Francisco Zoo is home to more than 2,000 exotic, endangered, and rescued animals in 100 acres of majestic and peaceful gardens located directly on the Pacific Coast.
