Growing the Zoo

Celebrating 50 Years of Progress, Artfully

When the Zoo turns 50 next year, we want to celebrate by installing a donor-chosen 50th Anniversary Commemorative artwork into the heart of what will become the Zoo’s third continental region, Asia. On the day that Asia opens, we want our commemorative artwork in place to welcome guests and remind them of the value our members and supporters place on the aesthetic, social, and scientific experiences the Zoo provides.

Joining this effort is easy—just donate $25 (or more if you can) to support this 50th Anniversary art installation. Every donor giving $25 or more will be eligible to cast a vote in the election we will hold to select Asia’s iconic artwork. Voters will select from three proposals that the Zoo’s Art Selection Team will present for their consideration.

And There is More!
In addition to casting a vote, each donor of $25 or more will have his or her name listed on a voter registration form that we will maintain on our website. As an additional incentive, we will invite donors providing $250 or more to attend the unveiling and installation of this artwork in Asia.

Building Asia

The Zoo is preparing to dish some dirt in its quest to add an Asian and, later, an Australian continental region to the Park. This fall, backhoes and bulldozers will roll into the Zoo to lay the groundwork for building Phase I (Asia) of this expansion. When Asia is finished, the new 10-acre addition will be the wildest and most wonderful change that the Zoo has made in years.

American Red Wolf Conservation Center

As the last 260 or so American Red Wolves continue the struggle to carry on their species, the North Carolina Zoo and the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) have closed ranks to help! The American Red Wolf is the most endangered member of the Canid family group—the world’s wolves, foxes, dingos, and other dogs. And, it is the only Canid species known to have evolved and always lived exclusively within the boundaries of the continental United States.
