Doing Good in Memory of a Loved One

Memorial Donation to the Zoo

With your memorial donation, you can make a difference in the protection of animal species and habitats on behalf of the deceased.

Through our four main areas of focus—habitat conservation, species conservation, education, and research—we contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. We fund the construction of our new habitats through donations, just as we do for our nature conservation projects around the world. With your memorial donation, you support our work on behalf of the deceased.
