Visit Franklin Park Zoo on Saturday, June 25 to celebrate the third annual World Giraffe Day! With only 90,000 giraffes remaining in the wild, this worldwide event is meant to raise support, create awareness and provide a deeper understanding of the challenges that these animals face in the wild.
Learn more about threats facing giraffes, as well as ways that you can help support giraffe conservation efforts. There will also be zookeeper encounters throughout the day, which are perfect opportunities to ask questions and learn more about Beau and Jana, the giraffes at Franklin Park Zoo!
Zoo New England is deeply committed to the conservation of these majestic animals and is an active participant in the Giraffe Species Survival Plan (SSP) – a cooperative, inter-zoo program coordinated nationally through the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. SSPs are designed to maintain genetically diverse and demographically stable captive populations of species. Zoo New England has also supported the Reticulated Giraffe Project.
