Get a Commemorative Brick
At the National Zoo, we are doing all we can to save Asian elephants from extinction and provide the best possible care for them in zoos. Unless we act now, Asian elephants could soon be extinct. Human-elephant conflict and habitat loss have decreased wild populations by 70 percent. Asian elephants in zoos are facing challenges, too. Zoo populations have significantly declined and could disappear within our lifetime.
To help accomplish these goals, we launched a project called Elephant Trails, a comprehensive breeding, education, and scientific research program designed to help scientists care for elephants in zoos and save them in the wild. The cornerstone of this effort is a new, expanded home for elephants in the Zoo.
Support Elephant Trails and Leave Your Mark
You have the opportunity to leave your mark on the National Zoo. With your gift of $250 or more, you can have a commemorative brick installed into the foundation of the Elephant Trails exhibit! If you want to go really big, life-size elephant footprints are available for larger donations. The first phase of Elephant Trails has already opened. All bricks and footprints will be installed in the finished exhibit area and displayed for decades to come.
With your generous support, we can make a huge difference in the care and conservation of the world’s largest land mammal.
