About WILDER INSTITUTE/CALGARY ZOO

The Calgary Zoological Society was officially founded in 1929. Every day, we help our guests learn more about the amazing animals that call the zoo home, and inspire people to care about their wild relatives. Thanks to your support, your zoo is internationally recognized for animal care and habitat design practices and takes pride in inspiring and educating generations of visitors about the importance of biodiversity and conservation during visits.

For more than 30-years, your Calgary Zoo has led critical wildlife conservation work through the Calgary Zoo campus, the rural Wildlife Conservation Centre, as well as across Canada and around the world. As your zoo continues the journey to be Canada’s leader in conservation, we are pleased to introduce you and the world to the Wilder Institute.

The Wilder Institute oversees your Calgary Zoo’s conservation portfolio locally and globally and will continue to be a force of nature for making the world a wilder place. Along with you, the staff and volunteers of Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo are passionate about restoring balance to wildlife and human life, together.

Inspiring and taking action for conservation is what the zoo is all about.
