Saving Animals in the Wild
Every time you visit the Zoo, you’re helping save giant otters and jaguars in Latin America. A portion of each Zoo membership and admission goes toward supporting our conservation partner, Giant Otter Project/Projecto Ariranhas in Brazil. The Zoo provides training for local tourism guides to lead giant otter and jaguar-safe tours with the goal of both people and wildlife in the region safely and successfully benefiting from ecotourism.
