CONSERVATION, RESEARCH & PROPAGATION PROGRAMS
16
Animal care professionals at MCZ contribute to a diverse portfolio of conservation, research and reproduction programs at local, national and international levels. Our collaborations with other conservation-focused organizations are of significance. They bring strength and stability to the programs, as well as to the conservation community as a whole. These programs are funded by the Zoo trust funds, the Zoological Society and from Zoo guests who opt to “Round Up for Conservation” at Zoo cash registers.
