Memphis Zoo

In April, we celebrate the very beginnings of Memphis Zoo, Founder’s Day. It Is also the month that highlights those who freely dedicate their service and time — volunteers. Today, we share a special story to highlight both. Decades of Memphis Zoo history was carefully curated and organized by an amazing docent and volunteer team, leading to the creation of the “Archive Room”. Who is better to take us through time than those who’ve not only been a part of it, but preserve it as well? https://lnkd.in/gyjMmgfG #memphiszoo #VolunteerAppreciationMonth #history

Did you know that orangutan translates to "person of the forest"? Orangutans are highly arboreal, meaning they spend most of their time high up in the trees of the tropical rainforests they call home. Initially ranging as far away as China, all three species are confined to the islands of Borneo or Sumatra and are considered critically endangered due to habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting, and the illegal pet trade. In response to these challenges, AZA's SAFE orangutan program, launched in 2018, works to protect and restore wild orangutan populations and their habitats through public engagement, funding, and fieldwork. Join us in supporting orangutans and other wildlife during this giving season by making an end-of-year contribution to AZA SAFE!
