The Denver Zoo recently brought some of its animals on a field trip to the State Capitol for the annual “Zoo at the Capitol Day.” This event allowed Colorado legislators to interact with and learn about wildlife from conservation experts and zoo staff. The Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance hosted the event to showcase its conservation, sustainability, and education efforts to Governor Jared Polis, First Gentleman Marlon Reis, and members of the Colorado Senate and House of Representatives.
During the event, attendees had the opportunity to get up close and personal with a variety of animals, including snakes, turtles, and more. The goal was to educate lawmakers about the importance of wildlife conservation and the work being done by the Denver Zoo to protect and preserve endangered species.
Governor Polis praised the Denver Zoo for its efforts and expressed his support for their conservation initiatives. He emphasized the importance of wildlife conservation in Colorado and encouraged lawmakers to continue supporting initiatives that protect the state’s diverse wildlife.
Overall, the “Zoo at the Capitol Day” was a success, allowing legislators to connect with animals in a unique and educational way. The event served as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts and the role that everyone can play in protecting and preserving wildlife for future generations.
