Throughout the year, The Taronga Foundation hosts a number of special events for individuals and the business community to support and raise funds for the Zoo and its conservation programs.   In the past, these events have contributed funds to international conservation programs for endangered animals such as Silvery Gibbons, Asian Turtles, Sumatran Tigers and Asian Elephants as well as the Zoos' Master Plan redevelopment projects.

To find out more about our upcoming events please contact Rebecca Pride, Events Officer, on rpride@zoo.nsw.gov.au or call (02) 9978 4616.
