Creating a wildlife
emergency fund
Launched in 2011, Quarters for Conservation
is an initiative that makes it easy to support
programs on both local and global levels.
The next step for this program is to set aside
a portion of the Quarters for Conservation
dollars for emergencies.
Upon entry to the Zoo, each visitor receives
a “quarter” token that they can use to vote for
one of three conservation projects at a time.
Projects change every four months.
With this fund we can assist our partners quickly
and distribute aid to them in the event of
natural disasters or man-made catastrophes
that leave wildlife in need of support. Awards
are made available to organizations after the
approval of a brief application for a maximum
of $2,500.
9 projects/yr

Our goal with this fund is to provide
assistance to our partners in conservation
during a time when they need it most.
