CONSERVATION SOCIETY OF CALIFORNIA / DBA OAKLAND ZOO

OAKLAND, California, 94605-4925 United States

Mission Statement

As one of Oakland's longest-standing institutions, we are nationally recognized as a leader in animal welfare, rescue, and conservation, and have served as a place of wonder and discovery for millions of people over the years.

About This Cause

Our commitment to animal care is evident in many ways – through our groundbreaking work in animal management practices and the large, naturalistic, species-considerate habitats for animals. We believe that thriving animals engaged in their environment are healthier, happier, and help inspire zoo guests to be stewards of the natural world. Our work extends well beyond the Zoo. With over 25 wildlife conservation partners globally, we take pride in providing funds to support their programs and efforts to save wildlife. Through our partnership with California Department of Fish & Wildlife, we accept, rehabilitate, and re-home wildlife rescued from wildfire and human-wildlife conflict. In the past five years alone, this includes 17 mountain lions, 36 California condors, 8 bears, and over 600 yellow-legged frogs. As a proud Oakland institution, we are also involved in our community, offering free and discounted education programs to schools, supporting other non-profits, and offering free and discounted admission to underserved families and children.
