Support Animal Care in Ukraine

The Houston Zoo is standing with the people of Ukraine and donating $5,000 to support the Ukrainian zoo staff who are heroically struggling to care for their animals, as recently portrayed in The Washington Post.

We join the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) in saluting their dedication and courage, in the midst of incredible challenges.

The European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) is leading the effort in determining how to best assist these dedicated professionals and the animals in their care. We encourage those who wish to learn more about the effort, or donate, visit: eaza.net/emergency-appeal-for-ukrainian-zoos
