December is a particularly noteworthy time in wildlife conservation this year because this December marks the 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act.The Endangered Species Act was signed into law in 1973, and it's one of the most important pieces of legislation we have to improve the conservation of threatened and endangered wildlife.
Species have been brought back from the brink of extinction thanks to legislation like the Endangered Species Act and, throughout the past several decades, the Minnesota Zoo has championed the conservation of many endangered species.
With threats in the wild, increasing our commitment to saving wildlife in wild places is more important than ever.Your visit and support of the Minnesota Zoo helps to ensure that we can continue to champion the conservation of wildlife right here in Minnesota and around the world.
