Calling all interpretative designers and production companies! We're seeking proposals for interpretive/design and production companies to help bring a new Conservation Action Station to life! This interactive station will be installed in the exit hall of Tropical Discovery and aims to inspire our guests to take action in protecting wildlife and keeping habitats healthy. We’re looking for individuals or organizations that can lead us in the co-creation, fabrication, and installation of this interactive, family-friendly exhibit that will empower visitors to learn about conservation and support a cleaner, healthier world for wildlife and people alike. Please reach out to Brittnay Frederick at [email protected] for details.

Happy Monday from Mafalda and the Spice Girls! Despite their appearance, peccaries are not pigs, but are in fact a taxonomic family of their own. Come say hi to Paprika, Cinnamon, Mafalda and Rosemary during your next visit to DZCA!

Today is #InternationalPrimateDay, a day to celebrate and protect primates of all species—from apes to monkeys, lemurs, and more! Here at Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance, we’re proud to be home to some of the rarest primates, including the Endangered aye-aye. DZCA was one of the first in North America to care for these elusive lemurs, and today, we’re one of only seven institutions in the U.S. housing them. With just 57 aye-ayes in human care worldwide, and 24 in the U.S., we're honored to provide top-notch care for Bellatrix, Tonks and Smeagol. Stop by our aye-aye habitat during your next visit to learn more about these precious primates! Video Credit: Animal Care Specialist Kelly D.
