FROM BACKYARD TO GLOBAL IMPACT: Protecting Wildlife Together

At Roger Williams Park Zoo, we believe in the profound connection between people, animals, and the natural world. This connection lies at the heart of our mission: inspiring a love and appreciation for the environment and its animals for more than 150 years.

Today, our commitment to conservation goes far beyond captivating Zoo encounters . We are active participants in a global movement to protect vulnerable species and habitats, both in our own backyard and across the globe.

This year, we've seen the ripples of our efforts reach far and wide, from New England cottontails hopping back into their restored habitats to the international partnerships safeguarding endangered species across the globe. We've embraced green practices, minimizing our environmental footprint while maximizing the impact of every step we take.

Together, we can write a future where every species has a voice, every ecosystem thrives, and the echoes of conservation reverberate throughout the world.

Through engaging experiences at the Zoo, inspiring educational programs, and collaborative conservation programs, we empower our guests and supporters to become champions for the environment.

Thank you for joining us on this important mission.

With gratitude,

Your Roger Williams Park Zoo
