2019 WILDLIGHTS A SUCCESS!

The 27th Annual WildLights delighted over 30,000 guests this holiday season with new light displays and synchronized light zones. Generously presented by the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation, WildLights showcased the new Dazzling Gift, a 15’x15’ lighted present that proved to be a great photo op! The Living Desert is grateful for the H.N. and Frances C. Berger Foundation’s nearly twentyyear commitment to supporting this beloved holiday tradition.

#SAVINGSPECIES MURAL

Have you seen it? The Living Desert is home to a new art mural in the Living Legacy Garden. Muralist Jonathan Martinez (@art_ofthe_endangered) created a unique and engaging mural featuring a black rhino and an African lion as a prelude to our upcoming expansion projects, Crossroads of Conservation. During your next visit, take a moment to snap a photo in front of this beautiful work. The mural is sponsored by long-time supporter Lu Barnes, who wanted a unique way for Zoo guests to share their experience at The Living Desert on social media.

The Living Desert is committed to reducing our footprint, sharing conservation action steps; and inspiring our guests to help do their part. Every choice, even the small ones, can add up to a big difference and big impact.
