Give From the Heart
Each year, attendees of our Safari Under the Stars have the opportunity to rally around a specific Zoo need. Over the past five years, Brevard Zoo has expanded its African hoofstock program to support important global conservation efforts. What began with just two Eastern bongos has grown into a thriving herd of nine, helping protect this near-threatened species through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan. We have also expanded our herd of endangered Grevy’s zebra and care for other African species including impala, oryx, and Masai giraffes.
As these conservation programs have grown, our 20-year-old Africa barn has simply run out of space.
A new hoofstock holding area will allow our animal care team to safely monitor animals during births, illness, and introductions, separate animals when needed, and conduct critical veterinary exams and hoof care that protect both the animals and the staff who care for them.
Your gift helps provide the space, care, and protection these extraordinary animals need to thrive at Brevard Zoo. Thank you for your support! Learn more here: https://bit.ly/4r6aWf6
