M.O.M

In addition, the Toledo Zoo is celebrating in support of M.O.M., Missing Orangutan Mothers, an orangutan outreach organization. Each year more and more orangutans (including moms and babies) are killed or left homeless as their native rainforest habitat is cleared for palm oil plantations. To help raise awareness for the protection of these amazing creatures, orangutan keepers and staff will be on hand to educate visitors to help everyone learn more about the threats and how our small actions can make a big difference for Yaz and Wakil’s wild counterparts.
