Global Conservation Partnerships

At HZAA, conservation extends far beyond our zoo gates. Through partnerships with wildlife organisations in Tasmania and around the world, we support important work to protect threatened species, restore habitats, and inspire positive action for wildlife conservation.

Save the Tasmanian Devil Fund

Support for the conservation of Tasmania's iconic Tasmanian Devil remains a key focus.

Daily animal presentations give guests the opportunity to connect with this endangered species while learning about the threats it faces in the wild, including Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD).

A portion of the proceeds from presentations and encounters contributes directly to conservation initiatives, including field research, insurance populations, and habitat protection.

By combining education with financial support, we inspire action and help secure a future for this unique species.

Proyecto Tití

A proud partnership with Proyecto Tití supports the conservation of the critically endangered Cotton-top Tamarin in Colombia.

Engaging daily presentations share the story of this remarkable primate and the challenges it faces, including habitat loss and the illegal pet trade.

Funds raised through guest experiences and conservation initiatives contribute to community-based programs, including forest restoration, education, and sustainable livelihood projects.

These combined efforts help protect not only a species, but also the ecosystems and communities that depend on it.

Zambian Carnivore Foundation

Collaboration with the Zambian Carnivore Foundation contributes to the conservation of Africa's iconic predators.

Daily Lion and Serval presentations highlight the ecological importance of these carnivores and the challenges they face, such as habitat fragmentation and human–wildlife conflict.

Financial contributions support conservation programs, including field research, wildlife monitoring, and community engagement initiatives in Zambia.

These efforts foster a deeper understanding of conservation and the work required to ensure the survival of these species in the wild.

The following Six Pillars of Conservation and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals are embedded in our everyday practices to create measurable meaningful outcomes for wildlife, people and the environment.
