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.

EXPLORE HISTORY OF THE ZOO

From the humble beginnings of a lone California grizzly bear to state-of-the-art animal care and wellness, our rich history explains the evolution of our mission to care, connect, and conserve.
