HELP CREATE A FUTURE WHERE WILDLIFE AND HUMANITY THRIVE TOGETHER
Every animal at Perth Zoo represents a much larger story; one that extends beyond our gates into
wild landscapes here and across the globe.
We breed threatened species for release, support recovery programs in the wild, respond to wildlife
emergencies, and work with communities and schools to take meaningful conservation
action. Together, this work gets us closer to a future where wildlife and people thrive together.
State Government support and Zoo admissions provide our foundation, and we are deeply grateful for that.
Donors and partners help us expand our conservation impact for wildlife and the community.
A gift to Perth Zoo helps where it is needed most, whether that be establishing a new education program, expanding resourcing in our veterinary hospital, or purchasing new equipment for our breeding program. Flexible funding allows us to respond quickly and focus on the greatest need.
Help us deliver urgent
action in the wild
We work with conservation partners across Western Australia and around the world to protect endangered species and habitats. Your support strengthens this work, from community programs to critical veterinary care and on-ground conservation action.
Help us breed more animals for release into the wild
Some of Western Australia’s most unique species are at risk of disappearing. Our breeding and recovery programs are helping rebuild wild populations. With your support, we can release more animals and give these species a stronger chance of survival.

WHAT YOUR SUPPORT MAKES POSSIBLE
Your generosity supports vital work that improves the lives of animals in our care and contributes to the protection and recovery of species in the wild.
Conservation Science
+ About
Protecting species at risk
Western Australia is home to an extraordinary range of wildlife, much of it found nowhere else on earth. Many native species are under increasing pressure from habitat loss, climate change and disease.
Perth Zoo plays a critical role in conservation science, focusing on applied research and recovery programs that have real‑world outcomes for threatened species. Central to this is our Native Species Breeding Program, which supports breed‑for‑release efforts designed to rebuild wild populations and reduce extinction risk.
Your support helps expand our capacity. This means:
- More specialised food (one Numbat eats around 20,000 live termites a day!)
- Specialised breeding environments like new underground Numbat chambers to protect young joeys
- More equipment such as incubation units and animal transport and monitoring equipment
- More genetic health and diversity assessments for breeding animals
Conservation Education
+ About
Inspiring care and action
Long‑term protection of wildlife depends on understanding, and informed action. Perth Zoo’s education programs help people — especially young people — connect with animals and learn how everyday choices can make a difference for species and habitats.
Delivered both at the Zoo and across Western Australia, our programs reach more than 44,000 children and young people each year, building knowledge and compassion that supports wildlife well beyond a single visit.
Your support helps:
- Provide engaging learning experiences that foster care for animals and ecosystems
- Equip young people with practical ways to protect wildlife
- Extend conservation education to regional and remote communities
Conservation Medicine
