What They're Saying
“When my husband and I decided to become members of the Guardian Conservation Society, we had no idea how rewarding this decision would be for our family. It is truly much more than a membership; it has been a learning adventure for our family and friends.
After several years of visiting the Phoenix Zoo, I never realized that the true mission was about conservation and how connected our Zoo is with local, national and international efforts. Understanding how this mission impacts decisions that our Zoo makes has been an incredible experience that has deepened my belief in the need to support our Zoo. We all have a role in educating our community on the ‘why’ behind the conservation work and how everyone can contribute.
As a Guardian member, we have enjoyed numerous exclusive social and educational events that have broadened our thinking and understanding. One of the most important benefits for me has been watching my son and his friends learn about the importance of conservation at an early age so they can grow up to be knowledgeable ambassadors.” ~ Gayle Cassidy
