In 2009, the Zoo’s Conservation Grants Program and Partners in Conservation awarded more than $1 million in program support for 70 conservation projects in 35 countries. Over the past five years, the Zoo has distributed $4 million in support. Many of the grants travel no farther than Ohio’s borders as the Zoo supports work on declining amphibians and critically endangered freshwater mussels.
