It began as a small group of people with a big dream: building a zoo. A world-class zoo that would serve as a conservation hub where people could gather to learn about animals and nature. A place to escape from the manmade world and reconnect with the diversity of the life with which we share this planet. They had the vision, but they needed the resources. Former Florida Today publisher Frank Vega recruited several community leaders and the dream began to take shape. Executives from the major aerospace companies collaborated to craft architectural designs and provide labor for this ambitious project.

What's new?

Now that's a happy capy if we've ever seen one!
