Wondering how you, our beloved community, can support our work to save endangered species in Colorado and worldwide? Here's how to protect wild animals—both here on our campus, and around the globe.

As a zoo-based conservation organization, Denver Zoo is dedicated to giving our guests the information they need to make choices that support a healthy planet. That’s why we’ve partnered with Palm Done Right® to spread the word about palm oil and its impact on wildlife habitat.
While not all products within these categories will contain palm oil, their labels are worth a second look: bread, crackers, soap/detergent, ice cream, shampoo, chocolate, makeup, cooking oil, dairy substitutes and margarine.
When you're perusing product labels and nutrition facts, the word "palm" is a safe bet that the product contains palm oil. Also look for the prefixes STEAR, LAUR and GLYC, as these also indicate the presence of palm oil.
Looking for companies who use palm-positive practices? Our partner Palm Done Right can help you make smart choices—and select products with lower impact on vulnerable wildlife and ecosystems.
