Conservation Action Center
The Conservation Action Center serves an important role as a place to strengthen and expand the Zoo’s work in local species protection. This project highlights our focus and commitment to wildlife at our doorstep, such as the blunt-nosed leopard lizard.This climate-controlled, bio-secure building is the primary location for breeding and raising the endangered blunt-nosed leopard lizard. The lizards hatched here are carefully studied to help expand our understanding of this local species while allowing guests to witness species recovery in action.
