Be inspired today
At the Toledo Zoo, conservation is at the heart of what we do.
Our Conservation Today program is one way you can make a difference in the natural world. Just in the last year, Conservation Today donors have helped wild Amur tigers, orphaned African penguins and endangered amphibians in the Dominican Republic, along with Karner blue butterflies and Lake Erie watersnakes right here in our region. And these are just a few of the many animals we’re protecting.
Our mission includes a commitment to conserve the natural world. This includes green practices, conservation projects, animal collections, research/dissemination and conservation education.

The Toledo Zoo and Westfield Franklin Park are working together to help save the hundreds of amphibian species that could become extinct within the next few decades. More than 168 species have already been lost and the number continues to climb. The Toledo Zoo is working to preserve and breed such endangered species as the Wyoming toad, Puerto Rican crested toad, Panama golden frog, and the Kihansi spray toad. 100% of the proceeds from coins collected at the Westfield Franklin Park fountains will go to help fund the Zoo’s amphibian conservation program. The fountain is located in front of Dillard’s.
You’ll find more fun Coins for Conservation displays at the Toledo Zoo. If you like piggy banks, you’ll go wild when you see our warthog coin collector. Look for fun coin collectors in Nature’s Neighborhood and elsewhere all over the Toledo Zoo—thank you for your contributions!
