Polar Bear Conservation
Polar bears are classified as vulnerable, and with climate change dramatically altering the ice-covered landscapes they rely on for hunting and travel, their future is increasingly uncertain.
Seneca Park Zoo is more than a home for animals. We are a conservation program actively protecting polar bears in their natural range. Through partnerships with organizations like Polar Bears International we use research, public education, and direct conservation action, to preserve the sea ice these incredible animals depend on.
You can help too by becoming a member, visiting the Zoo, or making a donation!
Every day is a great day to visit the Zoo. Experience life on the wild side, enjoy up-close animal interactions and support global conservation efforts—right here at the Zoo. Reserve your tickets now for quick and easy entry, and enjoy more time connecting with wildlife.
