The Great Plains Zoo is a key player in 43 Species Survival Plans including Amur Tigers, and Eastern Black Rhinoceros. Important work is being done right here in Sioux Falls, S.D., in order to create healthy populations of these precious animals worldwide. The Zoo also supports the work of global conservation efforts worldwide including the International Rhino Foundation, the Snow Leopard Trust, and others.
In addition to caring for hundreds of animals, the Great Plains Zoo serves as a regional rehabilitation facility for raptors and other native wildlife. In this role, the Zoo actively rehabilitates wild birds that are injured and sick for re-release into the wild. These wild birds have included Bald Eagles, Golden Eagles, Red-Tailed Hawks, Harlan’s Hawks, Great Horned Owls, Snowy Owls, and many other species.
A gift to our Conservation Fund helps make these important conservation efforts possible. Your gift can be designated for one or all of these projects.
