2011 Global Conservation Gala

For almost 150 years, the Philadelphia Zoo has been a place for generations of families to embrace and experience wildlife, and the Zoo has worked for decades to preserve habitats and endangered species around the world. In this spirit, we invite you to join us for an evening among friends and family at the 2011 Global Conservation Gala. As we focus on the plight of orangutans and other highly endangered species, we will also celebrate the efforts of local and international conservation heroes.

The Philadelphia Zoo is pleased to announce the recipients of our 2011 Conservation Awards.
