Tulsa Zoo Green Practices
If you are visiting the Tulsa Zoo it is your chance to connect with wildlife – even more important it is your chance to help protect wild places. From the giraffes in Africa to songbirds in Indonesia, Tulsa Zoo guests are supporting conservation programs all over the world.
Since 1997, the zoo has supported more than 360 conservation projects for creatures of all sizes and from places all over the earth, ranging from the monarch butterflies in Tulsa to snow leopards in the Himalayas.
The commitment to conservation extends to the zoo’s daily practices. The Tulsa Zoo might be the only zero-landfill zoo in the United States. Sustainable Tulsa’s Scor3card program ranks us as a Platinum level organization, the highest level achievable. Guests will find strawless lids, paper cups, and reusable shopping bags, small changes that make a difference for wildlife.
