Endangered Tortoise Breeding Program

Boots-on-the-Ground Conservation

Words may inspire but only action creates change. At Little Ray's we believe in putting words into action and are proud to belong to some incredible in situ conservation efforts.

Foundation for Animal Rescue and Education

F.A.R.E. is proud to partner with world leading organizations to help with conservation efforts as simple as in our own back yard to around the world. We are the first carbon neutral zoo in Canada, have been part of Species Survival Plan programs, worked internationally with endangered species and are at it again! Read below for some of our current efforts.
