2021 Annual Gratitude Report

O U R M I S S I O N

As leaders in conservation and animal care, we create engaging experiences that empower guests to join us in conserving wildlife and wild places.

what we do

Roger Williams Park Zoo is an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and is home to many endangered species. Our accreditation is assurance that visitors are supporting a facility dedicated to providing excellent care for animals, a great experience for guests, and a better future for all living things. This includes our participation in cooperative conservation and breeding programs to help ensure the future survival of many endangered species. Each time you visit the Roger Williams Park Zoo, make a contribution, purchase an item from us, or share your knowledge about wildlife and conservation, you help us take another step in achieving our mission.

Conservation and environmental stewardship are at the core of our mission. The Zoo actively participates in 55 AZA Species Survival Plans® which propagate endangered and threatened species in zoos.

Your support provides exceptional animal care while making a genuine impact through education and conservation programs. You are sharing your love of wildlife and wild places with Zoo visitors. Providing them the chance to experience an adventure that motivates them to care more deeply for this splendid world around us. Thank you!
