Across northern Kenya, the “Leopard Mothers” are driving conservation and empowering their communities.

This critical leadership skillset makes all the difference.

Regenerative medicine is proving to be a vital new therapeutic tool, offering vast new possibilities in veterinary care.

SAN DIEGO (Jan. 9, 2024) – To apply cutting-edge technology to the conservation of koalas, San Diego Wildlife Alliance is partnering with Illumina, a leading genomic sequencing technology company, through the Illumina iConserve program to sequence the whole genomes (an individual’s complete set of DNA) of nearly 100 koalas residing in North America over the past 30 years. Whole genome sequencing is integral to learning more about Koala Retrovirus, KoRV – a virus that can insert into the koala genome and is associated with various health issues in koalas including immunosuppression and cancer.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing the game for wildlife research and conservation.

For the herd of elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, family isn’t just the main thing. It’s everything.

SAN DIEGO (Aug. 10, 2023) – San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance has announced construction is officially underway on the largest and most transformative project in the San Diego Zoo Safari Park’s 50-year history. The all-new Denny Sanford Elephant Valley will reimagine the heart of the Safari Park, turning the current elephant environment into a dynamic savanna and a place of exploration. Elephant Valley will give guests of all ages the opportunity to connect with elephants like never before, encouraging greater empathy, understanding, and appreciation of this majestic species—and igniting a passion for wildlife.

We're building alliances to protect the savanna, and all who rely on this delicately balanced ecosystem.

If you’re on the African savanna and near a particular type of tree, you’re listening to the duet of two species—one botanical and one arthropodan—working together in perfect harmony to survive.
