Ambassador Animal Fund
The Zoo is looking forward to expanding its Animal Ambassador Program to allow guests more opportunities to get close to a greater variety of wild creatures.
Expanding this program will require the Zoo to increase the number of habitats available to house these animals and will, of course, require staff to bring in and care for additional creatures. These additions and changes are small compared to the massive changes that must be put in place to bring tigers or Komodo Dragons to the Zoo, which means that these changes can come about more quickly than most Zoo expansions. And, because animals enrolled in this program are generally smallish—no larger than a skunk, or say a sloth—a relatively small donation can make a huge difference for this program.
Best of all, the closeness these animals provide helps the Zoo staff teach values as well as science. Close encounters with animals help teach empathy and compassion and can inspire a lifetime of caring and learning about nature.
