Conservation

Education

Accredited zoos and aquariums view education as a primary commitment to the future of wildlife conservation. Everyone must learn that each animal has its own spot in the complex web of ecology and that to remove or damage one portion of that web may weaken the entire structure. Each species is unique and by destroying even one plant or animal, many other species may be affected.

The Zoo sponsors different events throughout the year that promote conservation:

• Wild Nites Lectures
• Party for the Planet (Cenla Earth Fair)
• Wild Tie & Tennis Shoe Night
• International Migratory Bird Day
• Black Bear Awareness Day
• Endangered Species Day
