Conservation
Zoo Miami does more than simply display animals. The mission of Zoo Miami and the Zoological Society of Florida is to encourage an appreciation for the world's wildlife and help conserve it for future generations.  The zoo plays an integral role in the ever-growing global effort to understand, preserve and propagate the world's rare and endangered wildlife. 

Zoo Miami has won a number of awards for the successful breeding of rare and endangered species, such as the Komodo dragon, Cuban crocodiles and the Matschie's tree kangaroos. The zoo's collection of more than 2,000 specimens represents over 400 species of live animals, 120 of which are listed in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)-approved study books, and 46 AZA Species Survival Plan (SSP) species. 

Each SSP is designed to maintain the genetic diversity and stable population demographics of some of the most critically endangered animals on our planet.
