Goals of Asian Tropics

Asian Tropics will advance Denver Zoo’s mission of wildlife conservation and education.  Strategically located on the south side of the zoo, the 10-acre Asian Tropics will be the first exhibit in a planned Asian zone that will grow to nearly 20 acres with the completion of the Millennium Master Plan. 

Asian Tropics will:

• Demonstrate that it is possible to save animals by helping people.
  
  
• Create critically needed Asian elephant and Indian rhino breeding facilities in North America.
  
  
• Provide the highest quality animal care, with a focus on safety, health and quality of life.
  
  
• Design an environmentally conscious, sustainable animal exhibit.
  
  
• Support field conservation and research in Southeast Asia.
