Conservation and Education
The Louisville Zoo is involved in critical
conservation programs through its management of wildlife and botanical
collections at the Zoo and through programs worldwide including Dian
Fossey Gorilla Fund International, Polar Bear International,
Black-Footed Ferret Recovery Program, the International Elephant
Foundation, American Chestnut Tree Conservation, Cuban Crocodile
Project, Butterfly Initiative, Kentucky's Blanton Forest and more.
Since being designated as the state Zoo of
Kentucky in 1980, we have found numerous ways to serve the citizens of
the Commonwealth. Through our Kids & Conservation program we have
distributed over 1.3 million Backyard Action Hero Activity books to
students and teachers statewide. Well over 85,000 children visit the Zoo
annually for field trips, overnight programs, family workshops.
And the Zoo goes on the road to over 10,000 annually through outreach
programs.
The Louisville Zoo, a non-profit
organization and state zoo of Kentucky is dedicated to bettering the
bond between people and the planet by providing excellent care for
animals, a great experience for visitors, and leadership in scientific
research and conservation education.
The Louisville Zoo is accredited by the
Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the American Association of
Museums. |
