ENVIRONMENTAL INITIATIVES

The Toronto Zoo is committed to environmental protection and awareness, and innovative action toward sustainable operations. Our dedication stems from a deep appreciation for biodiversity preservation and animal welfare. The Zoo's environmental initiatives can be viewed at torontozoo.com/fightingextinction. As part of this commitment we encourage all campers to bring re-usable plastic cups and/or water bottles to use at our water refill stations.
