Conservation and Auckland Zoo
Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund Small Grants deadlines announced for 2013/2014!
Conservation is at the heart of Auckland Zoo. Ask any staff member and they will tell you that what drives them is their passion for conservation - the ability to make a difference to wildlife and the environment, and to inspire others to do the same.
The Auckland Zoo
Conservation Fund (AZCF) was established by Auckland Zoo
staff in 2000 to support conservation efforts in the
wild, in New
Zealand and overseas.
Funds are raised from fundraising events and initiatives, proceeds from conservation product purchases, visitor admissions, donations, and sponsorship. Without your support, none of this work would be possible - so thank you! To date, the Fund has raised $1.4million, and distributed over $1million.
The Conservation Fund supports conservation efforts in the wild
- We support our own staff to develop or utilise their specialist skills and participate in field conservation initiatives. These can be projects led by Auckland Zoo or by other conservation partners. In our last financial year (July 2011 - June 2012), staff contributed 3,701 hours helping projects in the field - the equivalent of $111,037!
-
We provide financial resources for external organisations and individuals to carry out vital field conservation work in New Zealand and overseas.
