Thanks for your interest in the work we’re doing to create A Wilder Tomorrow! Our conservation work includes a variety of animal and plant species, so look for stories about gardening for wildlife, sustainable practices, coexisting with wildlife, research being done to save species, and more! We’ll also share ways that you can get involved and take action for wildlife.

We're thrilled to have you join us!

MAKING AN IMPACT
FOR MEXICAN WOLVES

Cincinnati Zoo is doubling down on Mexican wolf conservation efforts by adding a brand-new habitat for a second pack and by playing a leadership role in a reintroduction effort that has successfully grown the wild population from 7 to 700!!

REWILDING MANATEES

Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden has been an active member of the Manatee Rescue & Rehabilitation Partnership (MRP) since 1999.

Since that time, it has rehabilitated 35 of these amazing creatures and has returned 31 to their native Florida waters.  Last month, three former residents of the Zoo's Manatee Springs were part of a collaborative effort to release 20+ manatees.

OPPORTUNITIES

Barrows Conservation Lecture Series

Since 1993, the Barrows Conservation Lecture Series has brought a slate of esteemed naturalists and scientists to Cincinnati to address wildlife issues and global conservation  efforts.  Join in person or virtually! 

First of 4 lectures is March 18^th.

GO GREEN WITH YOUR GREENS!

Just like how a manatee will never pass up a tasty sea lettuce salad, you are most suited to choose organic or sustainable produce. Organic groceries do not use fertilizers or chemical pesticides which reduces run-off from agriculture areas and polluted water that eventually reaches manatees off the coast!
