Did you know that your Friends of Sunset Zoo Membership directly supports conservation?

The Friends of Sunset Zoo is a not-for-profit organization whose members support Sunset Zoo through membership services, donations, advocacy, and fundraising. For over 65 years, FOSZ support had helped enhance the Zoo, educate Zoo staff, and conserve wildlife.

Sunset Zoo has a Wildlife Conservation Plan that includes these goals/objectives:

• Pollinators: Establish Sunset Zoo as the community leader for pollinator conservation by modeling actions others can take to support pollinators as well as supporting efforts across the community to protect and conserve pollinator habitats and populations. 
• Breed & Release: Through community engagement and education, Sunset Zoo will support and lead efforts to stop the decline of species both locally and globally. 
• Scholarship Program: Sunset Zoo is committed to inspiring and fostering the next generation of conservationists and researchers to ensure the survival of wildlife through providing financial support to university students. 
• Zoo Conservation Outreach Group (ZCOG): Sunset Zoo is a proud partner of ZCOG. When we partner with ZCOG, we join a community of accredited zoos serving as leaders in global conservation of key South American species. 
• Stand Alone Projects: Sunset Zoo recognizes there are more conservation needs that we can support. Thus, having funds each year dedicated to supporting collaborative projects across the globe allows us the ability to respond to emerging conservation issues. 
• Sustainability: To further our mission of “inspiring conservation of the natural world,” we must reflect on our everyday actions and ensure they follow our conservation convictions.
