The Oregon Zoo, located in Portland's Washington Park, is a cultural landmark and a hub for science, conservation, education, and animal well-being. Established in 1888, the zoo has been a part of Metro, the regional government of greater Portland, for over a century. It is home to 165 species and subspecies, including endangered and threatened species like the California condor and the Oregon silverspot butterfly. The zoo's mission is to connect the community to the wonder of wildlife, fostering community pride and involvement. The Oregon Zoo Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 1997, has raised over $96 million for the zoo's top priorities, supporting animal welfare, conservation, and education programs. The zoo is committed to sustainability, with ongoing renovations and new exhibits designed to reduce the impact on natural resources. The Veterinary Medical Center, opened in 2011, features sustainable materials and practices, earning a LEED Gold certification. The zoo also implements water conservation measures, such as a reverse osmosis/sand filtration system in the Penguinarium, and encourages resource-efficient practices among staff. Through collaborations with universities, governments, and other zoos, the Oregon Zoo conducts research projects that aid in the protection of wildlife. The zoo's animals have contributed significantly to scientific knowledge, helping answer questions about energy expenditure, genetic diversity, and habitat impact. By combining education, conservation, and sustainability, the Oregon Zoo aims to create a better future for all wildlife and the community it serves.
