Description
The Toronto Zoo has a number of functions occurring at the same time from Zookeepers to Guest Services, the staff deal with many moving parts on a daily basis. One important function at the Toronto Zoo is to create better opportunities for the animals to strive and for researchers along with the public to learn about the animals that need protection.    The Toronto Zoo Wildlife Conservancy is an organization that helps fundraise to pay for the many projects at the Toronto Zoo. I sat down with Beth Gilhespy to discuss some past successes for projects as well and projects we will see in the near future, including a new state of the art Orangutan Habitat Project.    To help fund the project, please click this link: https://www.wildlifeconservancy.ca/habitat   Toronto Wildlife Conservancy Website: https://www.wildlifeconservancy.ca/
