Conservation

Zoo Atlanta protects wildlife and wild places around the world.

Zoo Atlanta is directly involved in field conservation programs for wildlife and wild places around the globe, including work in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and right here in Georgia. Our contributions range from funding for other established conservation organizations who share our mission, enabling a greater total impact in the field than might be achievable by a single organization, to projects in which our own staff are personally engaged in field work, community outreach programs, research and education programs on continents around the globe.
