We are grateful to work with the city’s Green Ribbon Commission toward a more sustainable future! Thank you, Ivy S., for highlighting a few of our recent green initiatives in the Boston Globe Media — like adding rain gardens by the Bactrian camel habitat at Franklin Park Zoo. 🌿

We're not the only ones excited about our salamander conservation work in the Middlesex Fells. The Friends of the Middlesex Fells Reservation recently recognized two members of our Field Conservation team with their Wilson Flagg Award for “individuals and organizations whose activities increased awareness and appreciation of the Fells flora and fauna.” Congratulations to John Berkholtz, Bryan Windmiller and our entire conservation team. Zoo New England is committed to our marbled salamander research and reintroduction work, and this honor adds to our resolve. Thank you, Friends!

The work week is underway, but we're thinking weekend. Our Zootopia gala is this Saturday at Franklin Park Zoo! We can't wait to party with hosts Matt Noyes, President and Co-Founder of 1DegreeOutside, and Latoyia Edwards, NBC10 Boston Morning Anchor, and our guests. It'll be a wild evening of dinner, dancing, animal encounters and a boisterous live auction. This kind of fun only happens with lots of support. We are deeply grateful to NBC10 Boston and WBUR for making this event possible. Can't wait until Saturday? Get in on the fun today with our online auction. We're adding more auction items all the time, bid early and often to support our conservation, education and animal care programs. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eX-Gz_XT

Zoo New England’s leadership and expertise in veterinary medicine and genomics was recently highlighted in The Atlantic online. Dr. Eric Baitchman, Zoo New England’s Vice President of Animal Health and Conservation, and Dr. Rachel Johnston, Zoo New England’s Conservation Genomics Scientist, spoke with staff writer Katherine J. Wu about a troubling trend of heart disease in meerkats. The veterinary mystery sparked a deeper dive into animal genetics and collaborations across the country to better understand the genetics of animals in our care. #genetics #research #veterinarymedicine #ZNEconservation
