Area of Greatest Needs:
We rely on the support of dedicated donors to help fund the critical wildlife conservation work done by your Toronto Zoo.

Toronto Zoo Community Conservation Centre:
This state-of-the-art facility will be a community hub where scientists, educators and leaders alike will come together to preserve nature and educate the next generation.

Indoor African Savanna:
This multi-species indoor space will enhance animal experience and offer you the opportunity to see animals from warmer climates throughout the year.

Red Panda Habitat:
This enlarged habitat will provide more indoor space for red pandas and allow the public to view them both indoors and outdoors for year-round engagement.

Conservation Science at the Toronto Zoo:
Species Recovery programs including Conservation Breeding and Reintroduction put more endangered species, like the black-footed ferret and the Blanding's turtle, back into the wild each year. We also have the most diverse BioBank acting as nature’s insurance policy. As necessary as these programs are, they are funded almost entirely by donations and grants.

Wilding Endangered Species Preservation Fund:
Established to help offsite conservation projects in the wild, this fund will further your Toronto Zoo’s conservation impact by supporting in-situ conservation efforts.

Animal Enrichment:
From our smallest to largest animals, daily enrichment provides mental and physical stimulation, encouraging natural behaviors for improved health and well-being.

Currently, through this fund, we are proud to be partnering with:

• Ape Action Africa (AAA) 
• Gorilla Saving Animals from Extinction (SAFE)
• Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP)
• Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB)
