🌿 Happy #ArborDay! Today we`re celebrating the work of the Browse program and the animals who depend on trees every day for their nutrition, enrichment and overall wellbeing.
Our Browse Program provides year-round access to fresh leaves, branches, bark, and logs to over 25 species across the Zoo — nearly 1,000 pounds of leaf material every week, rain or shine, winter or summer. For many of our animals, browse is an essential part of their diet and natural behaviors.
But what makes this program really special is how it continues to grow. By prioritizing sustainability, partnerships and resource efficiency, the team has developed a holistic program that is more environmentally conscious while maintaining the highest nutrition standards for our animals. In the summer of 2025 alone, we recycled over 12,000 pounds of tree trimmings and removals sourced from local partners, turning what would have been organic waste into nourishment for our animals. 🌳
Good for our animals, good for community, good for the planet. That`s something worth celebrating today.

Greetings from Peru! Dr. Jimmy Johnson, Senior Director of Wildlife Health and Conservation, and Brian Aucone, Chief Conservation Officer, are on the ground at Lakes Titicaca and Junín — visiting our field conservation partnerships and the incredible wildlife we`re working together to protect.
From Andean condors and flamingos to the remarkable Lake Junín frog and the Titicaca water frog, DZCA has been partnering with local communities and governments since 2012 to save some of the world`s most vulnerable species. 🐸🦩
Come see our Titicaca water frogs, condors and flamingos for yourself during your next visit and know that your support helps protect them in the wild, too.
Join us in saving wildlife together. 🌿

🦁🎂 Happy 6th birthday, Araali! And what better way to celebrate than a dino-themed party any six-year-old would love?
Araali and her four cubs celebrated the day with a paper mâché volcano handcrafted by our incredible volunteers, dino eggs, tasty ribs and ice treats loaded with beef femurs. 🍖
Araali has been an amazing mom, and her cubs are growing bigger by the day. Here`s to six years of this magnificent girl, and many more to come! 🦕

Happy #VolunteerAppreciationWeek!
Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance volunteers go above and beyond to make every visit special for our guests and members. From engaging visitors with fun, educational experiences to strengthening connections with our animals and conservation work, they play a vital role at DZCA. But their impact doesn’t stop there! They also work behind the scenes, supporting various animal care teams, helping care for animals, and creating beautiful horticultural displays throughout the Zoo.
Next time you visit, be sure to say hello and thank our amazing volunteers for everything they do!
