Miami Metrozoos commitment to worldwide conservation efforts serves as the cornerstone of our mission to encourage an appreciation for the worlds wildlife and to help conserve it for future generations. From significant research and special studies being conducted right here in South Florida to field conservation efforts in some of the most remote and exotic places on earth, Miami Metrozoo, a fully accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) , is recognized as a leader in the fight to preserve some of the worlds most endangered animals and ecosystems.
Many of Miami Metrozoos conservation and research efforts are spearheaded by the Zoos own dedicated professionals. In other cases, the Zoo directly supports programs around the globe led by world-renowned conservation organizations and conservation experts. In all cases, we form critical partnerships with other scientists, conservationists and governmental and non-governmental organizations to help save the endangered plants, animals and ecosystems of the world.
The Zoological Society of Floridas Education Department has developed a curriculum that dovetails with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDPS) science curriculum. Student groups can take advantage of our education programs in a variety of ways. Options include overnight behind-the-scenes adventures, daily presentations in the Ecology Theater, and weekend programs. MDPS teachers can also reserve a free classroom presentation for their next school field trip to the Zoo; choose from among our standard programs or call the Education Department to develop a course that meets your groups specific needs. These are just a few of the innovative ways Miami Metrozoo brings science to life for your students.
