  7. Conservation Information The Los Angeles Zoo currently participates in over 20 conservation projects, including the Turtle Survival Alliance, the Golden Lion Tamarin Project, the Madagascar Fauna Group, the Visayan Warty Pig Project, and the Philippine Spotted Deer Program. Since 2000, the Zoo has been a partner in the Peninsular Pronghorn Recovery Plan. The goal of this project is to breed the critically endangered peninsular pronghorn and release animals into the wild. Working alongside the zoos partners (including Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the Living Desert, and the Vizcaino Biosphere Reserve) the peninsular pronghorn population has climbed to approximately 250 individuals. As a result, these animals are now roaming terrain where they haven’t been seen in decades.

The state-of-the-art habitat is the largest exhibit in the Zoo's history, with over six acres of land that showcase the elephants and inform visitors about the challenges they face in the wild.
