Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.
Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.
Bite-Sized
Today on Reverse the Red Day, we’re proud to share our pledge to reverse the red for the Endangered whooping crane.
Once reduced to just 21 individuals in the 1940s due to overhunting and habitat loss, this remarkable species has faced immense challenges. Since 1992, we’ve been dedicated to supporting whooping crane recovery by leading Canada’s only conservation breeding program for the species!
Our pledge today is a promise to strengthen our leadership in whooping crane conservation, by continuing to focus on increasing successful breeding efforts and advancing long-term recovery strategies, while working closely with partners on translocations and efforts to safeguard vital habitats. Together, we can help the whooping crane population soar once again and ensure a brighter future for this iconic bird.
