• Demonstrating the diversity of wildlife;
• Enhancing the care and survival of wildlife through research, education and conservation;
• Operating a financially sound zoological park;
• Offering our employees a fun, rewarding work environment;
• Contributing to the cultural life of the Kansas City community and region; and
• Achieving full community support.

The Kansas City Zoo is actively involved with conservation efforts locally and throughout the world through many facets.
