You are invited to listen in on a virtual report about the Zoo’s conservation efforts here in El Paso and around the world. We will pick a time and date after we have polled our readers on the best day of the week and time. Please fill out the registration form below and we will send you an email or text message when the date and time is announced.

Over the past 20 years the El Paso Zoo has been working to increase its conservation impact in support of field conservation projects.  Funds raised by the El Paso Zoological Society combined with round up revenues at Service Systems and Associates gift shops and restaurants, have helped us to support projects to save endangered species around the world. 

Our Conservation Committee focuses on supporting projects that involve both staff and conservation partners. Recent examples include sending a zoo keeper to Madagascar to help rescue over 10,000 critically endangered radiated tortoises that were confiscated from poachers planning to sell them for the pet trade, and sending a team of four zoo staff members to help with a Mexican black bear habitat restoration project at Big Bend National Park.
