At the San Francisco Zoo, we believe that people have the intelligence and compassion to turn the current extinction and environmental crisis around; they just need some help to get motivated. That’s why we have made it our goal to inspire our one million annual visitors to take some form of conservation action. From breeding endangered species as a hedge against extinction, to operating our facility in a green manner, to working to preserve the habitat in our own backyard, the San Francisco Zoo practices what it preaches.
