Visit a zoo and learn about animal conservation.

“My name is Bri, and I am interning in the Ambassador Animals Department this summer. It has been an incredible summer, and I am so sad to see it end. However, I am walking away from this experience with more information than I imagined. While I love the birds I have gotten to work with and could talk about them for hours, I think some of the most important things I have learned involve the conservation work that Zoo Atlanta does. [...] From working in the Zoo, I learned just how bad straws are for the environment, so I have focused on being straw-free all summer. I even bought my family reusable metal straws that they can use!”

“Last summer, I proudly took my stepson to Denver Zoo. He saw animals from all over the world, ones he might never get the experiences to see in the wild, and I saw the awe and wonderment in his eyes. I told him about how the Zoo is fighting to protect them, pikas, tadpoles, big horns and all. It was the first time I had been to a zoo since I can remember, and it was a beautiful experience celebrating wildlife and the heroes that fight to protect it.”
