BIG NEWS‼️🦍🚨 We are incredibly excited to announce a generous matching gift of $3.25 million from the John and Shirley Dean Foundation to support Phase Two of the World of Primates renovation, directly impacting our gorilla troop! Construction on Phase Two will begin in early September and will fill the existing moat and add high-strength, flexible, hand-woven stainless steel mesh walls and roofing, which will be supported by towering 25-to 30-foot structural columns and wire rope. These improvements will not only allow guests to get closer than ever before for more meaningful views of the troop but also double the size of their habitat! New and improved climbing structures will be included in their space, which will encourage natural behaviors, increase physical activity and enhance the well-being of the Zoo’s beloved gorilla family. Because of the Deans’ generosity, every dollar donated to the transformation will be matched 4 to 1, meaning that a $1 donated will generate an additional $4 for the project. A gift of $10 will result in $50 for the Zoo! Join us in building a bigger, better home for our gorillas. Read more about this exciting improvement and make a gift today at the link in our bio!
