The Bigger Picture: Art Exhibit & Fundraising Reception
Focusing our lenses on what bonds us together rather than what sets us apart.
Join us for a special fundraising presentation in the Zoo’s Doornbos Discovery Amphitheater to hear veterinarian Dr. David Eshar, Director of Animal Health and the Executive Director of the Wildlife Hospital of Israel and Safari Zoological Center of Ramat Gan, and Dr. Gilad Goldstein, Zoo Curator of Israel’s Safari Ramat Gan, discuss the plight of the imperiled Eurasian griffon vulture.
Playing a critical role in natural ecosystems, vultures are the most threatened raptors in the world and both the Phoenix Zoo and Safari Ramat Gan share the common goal of working on conservation programs to ensure their survival. The net proceeds of this event will go toward the goal of enlarging Ramat Gan’s vulture habitat to add two more breeding pairs to its current single pair to further increase Israel’s wild population.
