How We Save Species
We are committed to removing disease as a roadblock to wildlife conservation. We achieve this through comprehensive disease surveillance programs, disease outbreak investigations, and targeted disease research for all of the animals in our care, including the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park collections and our field conservation programs.
