Protecting the Twelve
12 conservation priorities for the next 12 years and beyond

The Dallas Zoo is dedicated to twelve conservation priorities that can help humans and animals in significant areas of Asia, Africa, and here at home in the United States. In this program, we partner with conservation organizations around the world, to directly support efforts to save animals and ecosystems from extinction.
