ENRICH THE LIVES OF YOUR ZOO FRIENDS
Making the captive environments of our animals as complex, engaging and enriched as they can be is the goal of the Detroit Zoo’s enrichment program. Through enrichment, we add complexity to the animals’ habitats that encourages them to engage in species-typical behaviors and gives them more choice and control over their environment.
We are always heartened by the response we have received from our members and community. If you would like to help us by donating any of these items, please contact our Development Department at (248) 541-5717 ext. 3728 or email at
