Help us urge Congress and the White House to include non-profit organizations that support public nature and STEM education in COVID-19 Relief and Economic Stimulus Legislation! As an AZA-certified facility, we host thousands of children and families every year at our center and field programs. We also educate millions of people worldwide online and through social media. This work can only continue through this shutdown by voicing your support!

Like other sectors of the economy, wildlife facilities are facing significant hardships in the face of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. They are temporarily closing or reducing operations and making difficult staffing decisions. We face the unique challenge of retaining sufficient staff and supplies to care for their animals.

Congress and the White House are moving quickly to develop COVID-19 relief and economic stimulus legislation. Policymakers need to hear directly from you about the need to include conservation centers, aquariums, as well as museums and similar entities, in COVID-19 relief and economic stimulus packages.

Please contact Congress and the White House to express your support for providing $4 billion for wildlife centers, aquariums, and museums in economic stimulus legislation.
