Zoo-Based Conservation Efforts
Oregon Zoo is dedicated to helping preserve native
species of the Pacific Northwest. The zoo is involved
in seven Species Recovery programs to
help boost populations of endangered or sensitive species. The zoo
also established and manages the Jonsson
Center for Wildlife Conservation , which houses our condor and
Washington pygmy rabbit breeding programs. |

In-Situ Conservation Efforts
In-situ conservation means conservation work happening
in the field. Oregon Zoo, through the Future For Wildlife, funds
projects in the Pacific Northwest, North
America and throughout the world. |

Future for Wildlife Grants
Future for Wildlife Grants are funded through
direct donations,
Dine and Discover events, and Zoo Parent program proceeds. In addition, a 25¢ surcharge on all gate admissions funds projects within the Pacific Northwest, and
proceeds from the Endangered
Species Justice Fund support endangered species exclusively. Through these fund-raising efforts, Future for Wildlife
is able to give grants to many conservation projects.
