Through the support of our community,
every step Blank Park Zoo takes is a stride towards the preservation of species in the wild. A portion of all revenue generated at Blank Park Zoo impacts global and local conservation efforts. As a whole, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) accredited institutions like Blank Park Zoo combat declining animal populations through 500 different Species Survival Plan (SSP) Programs. Here at Iowa’s only accredited Zoo, we participate in Amur Tiger, Japanese Macaque, Golden Headed Tamarin, Panamanian Golden Frog and Red Panda SSP’s.
