Utah’s Hogle Zoo is passionate about protecting wildlife and plays a critical role in saving animals from extinction. Conservation of wildlife and their wild places is at the heart of everything we do. With over 1 million guests coming through our doors we are in a unique position to help our community to take conservation action. 

field conservation

Our conservation strategy focuses on committing our expertise and resources for the conservation of threatened wildlife and their habitats and to build capacity for surrounding communities. Our programs are place-based, that is if we are to secure wildlife populations long term the whole place, including people, must be a part of the strategy.  Therefore, we engage communities to save wildlife. The Zoo partners with a strategic group of field based partners, non- profit organizations, federal and state agencies, and business to work towards big conservation outcomes. Through collaboration, we are able to deliver tangible benefits to both people and wildlife. Our international conservation efforts see us fighting the extinction of some of our world’s endangered species within Uganda, Mozambique, the Arctic, Borneo, and at home in Utah.

Natural Resource Conservation

Utah’s Hogle Zoo has identified natural resource conservation as a critical component of our conservation approach. We connect resource conservation measures to address the direct and indirect threats to wildlife as a tangible conservation action. The Zoo has completed three energy audits and implemented numerous energy efficiency measures. We have reduced our overall water consumption by over 65%. Three photovoltaic solar arrays were installed and are operational. The Conservation team is engaged with many community partnerships and programs. Each year, we engage our guests, staff, volunteers and interns in moving forward on the path to sustainability.
