Celebrate Earth Day and Wild Weekend: Amazonia at the San Diego Zoo

There are interactive experiences and fun for the whole family as you join us to celebrate Earth Day and Wild Weekend: Amazonia at the San Diego Zoo!

Swing in to discover how we’re saving and protecting unique wildlife across this sprawling biodiversity hotspot, and how allies like you make a difference through our AMAZONIA CONSERVATION HUB.

Andean bears, jaguars, leafcutter ants, and giant river otters are just some of the fascinating wildlife found within the Amazon basin.

Hugging the equator and extending across nine countries, Amazonia is the world’s largest tropical rainforest—and home to some of the world’s most endangered wildlife and vanishing resources.

Often called “the lungs of the planet,” the Amazon rainforest absorbs a vast quantity of carbon dioxide and exchanges it for oxygen, playing a crucial role in stabilizing climate worldwide. Securing its future is vital for all of us.
