Conservation Biology Class at ZooAmerica

The Millersville Conservation Biology Class took a trip to ZooAmerica in Hershey. The purpose of this trip was for students to get a behind the scenes tour of how animals are cared for in captivity and what type of conservation programs Zoos are involved with. In addition, students got to see a few endangered animals up close and discuss these species conservation challenges and success in North America.   Big thanks to the ZooAmerica staff. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about their profession.
