How are SF Zoo's Animals Doing?
We appreciate so many of you reaching out with concern about our animals, especially during this uncertain time when so many institutions, including your Zoo, had to close to the public in response to our government's "Stay at Home" mandate. Despite our closure to the public, we still must ensure that our animals not just survive — but continue to thrive — during this global crisis.
While it's a little quiet without your smiling faces, our animals continue to receive their necessary food, medical care and daily enrichment activities. We continue to monitor any reports from other zoological institutions as well as the CDC regarding animals and the novel coronavirus, and so far, there are no reports of transmission of the disease.
While many Zoo employees will stay at home, a few of us still must care for and support our animals. Like you at home, we have organized ourselves to ensure social distancing from one another, wear protective gear when necessary, and cross-train to support one another. Thankfully, our emergency drills and other protocols over the years have prepared us for challenging conditions, although this virus certainly is unique.

How is SF Zoo faring during this closure and how can I support the Zoo?
SF Zoo and Gardens is a non-profit organization that relies on ticket sales, memberships, education program revenue and donations in order to operate. Over 50% of our operating revenue comes from admissions, and we are painfully aware of the financial impact this closure will have on us here at the Zoo. While we are doing our best to reduce costs and shore up resources to withstand the closure, the reality is that the costs to feed and care for our animals do not go away just because we are closed. Nevertheless, we remain committed to our animals, and that's our solemn promise to you.
You can help support our animal care as well as our committed Zoo professionals through a donation (https://sfzoo.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=05b8326f4402b997fe7a097e3&id=52f406c0f7&e=7683a9aed3) of any amount to help us through this challenging time.
Thank you for your on-going support of your Zoo! We are all in this together!
