Conservation

Conservation is one of the cornerstones of the San Antonio Zoo’s mission. The Zoo’s commitment to conservation is clearly demonstrated through the number of conservation programs in which staff is intricately involved.

Each year, the San Antonio Zoo participates in and gives financial support to a variety of conservation efforts around the world. The zoo has the ability to work towards this goal through a combination of different methods. Among them are:

• Active participation in AZA Conservation and Science Programs.
• Conservation education programming on and off zoo grounds.
