This fall we are beginning construction on a RED PANDA exhibit – a first for the LS Zoo – opening in Spring 2023 but we need your support!

Red pandas are an endangered species, and it’s estimated the population has declined by over 40% in the last twenty years. Facing threats like habitat loss and poaching, the number of red pandas will continue to drop.

We want to do our part to help ensure that we bring awareness to the dangers these animals face in the wild and participate in the protection of the future for red pandas through breeding programs like the Species Survival Plan.

Your donation today will help us build a world-class natural habitat for the newest additions to the LS Zoo Family!

Did you know it costs $500 a month to feed a red panda?

They love bamboo – in fact it’s 95% of their diet! Not only will your support help us build their new home, but it will also provide funds to purchase their food and enrichment

To thank you for your support, we are offering exclusive donor gifts & experiences!

Up to $99: Name on designated plaque at new red panda exhibit
$100-$249: Plaque designation & commemorative photo
$250-$499: All of the above PLUS an exclusive sticker created by Bethany Wright
$500-$999: All of the above PLUS 2 tickets to exhibit grand opening including red panda encounter
$1,000+: All of the above PLUS 4 tickets to exhibit grand opening including red panda encounter & private Zoo Tour with CEO Haley Hedstrom day-of event

Can we count on you to help us complete the exhibit and welcome two new furry friends to the Zoo Family?

We’ll need climbing structures, a warming shed, and other exhibit items to have everything we need to bring red pandas to the LSZ.

YOU can make all of this possible with a donation today!
