Now is the time to expand. The Birmingham Zoo has progressed tremendously – from our humble beginning in 1950 with a small menagerie of animals in a firehouse; to the keepers of “Miss Fancy,” our very first elephant; to a vast and multifaceted species conservation center providing direct care to approximately 750 animals of 250 species from 6 continents. Our existing facilities are outdated. Bringing new elephants to the Birmingham Zoo and maintaining accreditation by the Assocation of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) means providing larger, state-of-the-art space and facilities for captive-born bulls. There is a tremendous need to establish regional elephant breeding centers that are able to care for a large number of elephants. The Birmingham Zoo will utilize state-of-the-art management and medical techniques. As part of a continuing effort to provide the best environment for elephants, over half of the 76 AZA member institutions caring for this species, plan to expand or construct new facilities within the next 5 years.
