NEW PARTNERSHIP!

We are excited to share that we have partnered with Animals Anonymous Apparel, a small business run by a former zookeeper, with a mission to “protect wildlife and inspire a deeper connection to conservation.” Shop using this link: https://animalsanonymousapparel.com?sca_ref=8081045.uwQMmNvTCOrx or select Rocky Mountain AAZK from the Conservation Partners page, and 10% of your purchase will be donated directly to us. Happy Shopping!


Since 2006, Rocky Mountain AAZK has donated over $222,000 to more than 63 different conservation organizations!
That is zookeepers in their spare time raising money for conservation!


What has Rocky Mountain AAZK been up to the past couple years?

We’ve supported conservation by granting funds to Sea Turtle Conservancy, Kea Conservation Trust, Penguins International, and the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund.

We supported zookeepers to attend conferences and travel abroad for conservation work in Mexico, Costa Rica, Nepal, and Kenya!

In 2024 we hosted our first Winos for Rhinos and raised over $2,500!

Since 2022, we’ve held an annual Holiday ornament sales featuring paintings from animals at the Denver Zoo and Downtown Aquarium.
