About

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute leads the Smithsonian's global efforts to save species, better understand ecosystems and train future generations of conservationists. Founded in 1889, the Zoo is part of the Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum and research complex. Its two campuses are home to more than 2,000 animals, including some of the planet’s most critically endangered species. Always free of charge, the Zoo's 163-acre park in the heart of Washington, D.C., is a popular tourist destination, welcoming nearly 2 million visitors from all over the world each year. The Zoo instills a lifelong commitment to conservation through engaging experiences with animals and the people working to save them. Today, the Zoo is home to nearly 1,800 animals representing more than 360 species. The Smithsonian's commitment to conservation, research and education extends to its Conservation Biology Institute in nearby Front Royal, Virginia's 3,200-acre campus. More than 270 animals representing 20 species live on this campus, where scientists and animal care experts conduct veterinary and reproductive research to save wildlife and habitats.
