GREEN PROGRAMS

The Toronto Zoo is a not-for-profit organization committed to energy efficient operations and environmental protection. The Zoo has motivated of volunteers, seasonal and full time staff that understand the importance of living sustainably in balance with nature. We understand and accept that climate change is a real threat to earth's biodiversity, perhaps most acutely to our own species. We accept that humans are largely responsible for global warming as a result of our use of non-renewable energy resources and emission of greenhouse gases. We encourage people to lessen their ecological footprint on the earth.

Our vision toward a green and sustainable future will include:

• Eco-ethical partnerships
• Green funding plans
• Green staff culture
• Promotion of green programs and achievements
• Sustainable energy use and production

In our continued efforts to reduce our ecological footprint, the Zoo has produced a Green Plan to guide our practices and policies. To view our Green Plan please click here.
