Conservation Action Center

conSErVaTion in acTion

Zoo Miami’s Conservation Action Center (CAC) Presented by Marc and Robin Osheroff Family is an indoor interactive exhibit where zoo-goers of all ages learn about how they can help protect our most precious wildlife and natural resources. The CAC officially opened on January 16, 2021 with a special media preview on January 15, 2021. Sponsors, media and special guests were treated to a sneak peek of this new space including crawling through a larger-than-life python, taking out environmental threats in Habitat Whack-a-Mole and scooping the “poop” into compost bins.

The Conservation Action Center is the public face of Zoo Miami’s research and conservation efforts and allows for guests to explore and learn about how conservation connects us all. Primary funding was generously contributed by: Marc and Robin Osheroff Family; Florida Department of State Division of Cultural Affairs; Florida Power & Light Company and its charitable arm NextEra Energy Foundation; the Romano Family Foundation; and Miami-Dade County.

Zoo Miami staff Julia Klumb and Cristina Heredia accept FRPA award.
