About Toronto Zoo
The Toronto Zoo is a conservation-focused organization that goes beyond being a traditional zoo. It plays a key role in protecting species and ecosystems both in Canada and around the world. Through scientific research, breeding programs, habitat restoration, and community outreach, the Zoo is actively involved in efforts to fight extinction and preserve biodiversity. The Zoo’s programs also support wildlife health, conservation breeding, and the reintroduction of species into their natural habitats.
Education is another core pillar of the Zoo’s impact. From school programs and youth engagement to public exhibits and immersive experiences, the Zoo helps people of all ages understand their role in protecting nature. With partnerships across the country and globally, the Toronto Zoo continues to lead as a hub of conservation science, environmental education, and wildlife advocacy.
