Toronto Zoo Wildlife Conservancy

Toronto Zoo Wildlife Conservancy protects endangered species and their habitats through research, breeding programs, and field conservation work across Canada and internationally. The organization combines captive breeding efforts with habitat restoration projects, focusing on species at risk such as woodland caribou, black-footed ferrets, and Ontario freshwater turtles. By partnering with other institutions and Indigenous communities, the conservancy works to recover populations that have declined due to habitat loss and human activity. The organization also runs education programs that connect visitors at the Toronto Zoo and across the GTA with wildlife conservation, building public support for protecting ecosystems and species survival.
