Projects

Since 1996, the Calgary Zoo has invested more than $400,000 in Conservation Outreach programs that have an impact on conservation around the globe.

Conservation Outreach brings the conservation message to people who make decisions on land use and development. Through these programs, we work with specialists and local communities to find new solutions to conservation challenges. And we raise support for conservation measures here at home, and abroad.
