There are many simple ways to give and show your passion for desert conservation.

Crossroads of Conservation Capital Campaign

The Living Desert invites you to join us as we work to build the Zoo of the future and expand our conservation efforts.

As we look forward to the future, the final phase of a three-part capital improvement initiative will support the growth of the park, including a state-of-the-art event and conference center, guest dining and market place, splash pad, multi-departmental office space, parking lot expansion, and bringing the majestic African lion species to The Living Desert.

Your support of this campaign will enable us to further our impact on global wildlife initiatives and accelerate our ability to make a difference for the desert wildlife we all love.
