🦁🐢🦩 Happy American Zoo Day! 🐘🐟🦒
Today we celebrate the powerful role zoos and aquariums play in protecting wildlife and connecting people with the natural world.
🔬 Conservation Science – From endangered species breeding programs to wildlife disease research, zoos are hubs of innovation that help protect animals in the wild and in human care.
📚 Education – Every visit to a zoo is an opportunity to inspire curiosity, compassion, and a lifelong commitment to animals and the environment. Zoo professionals help turn awe into action.
🌱 Preservation of Biodiversity – Whether it’s restoring habitats, responding to oil spills and disease outbreaks, or safeguarding genetic diversity, zoos are on the frontlines of protecting the most vulnerable species.
💙 Join us in recognizing and celebrating the dedication, compassion, and science that fuel America’s zoos. Together, we're building a future where wildlife and wild places can thrive.
