Four key educational goals for the Education Center project:

  • 1. Increase capacity of the zoo to invite and engage

diverse audiences in conservation education.

sharing partners’ resources and programming.

  • 3. Raise visibility of, and support for, the work of

community organizations by providing access to zoo’s resources (1.5 million visitors, location, facilities.)

  • 4. Advance conservation education in the region by

fostering connection and dialogue between sectors and issues.
