A little bird told us that Florida grasshopper sparrow nesting season has begun – and we welcomed four chicks recently! Every birth is so important for this critically endangered species as we work with our conservation partners to increase their population. 

Today, we’re celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science by sharing the experiences and insights from some of the amazing women in science at our Zoo. Let’s meet Becca Downey, our senior conservation manager.

Last week, we released 15 Florida black bear cubs back to their natural habitat after months of rehabilitation.

We’ve welcomed two manatees to East Coast Zoological Foundation’s behind-the-scenes rehabilitation center at Brevard Zoo! 

We’ve introduced a new grant offering aimed at helping to grow and develop conservation-based organizations by supporting operational costs essential for fieldwork. Our East Coast Zoological Foundation (ECZF) has launched the Growth, Engagement and Resources (GEAR) grant to address the financial challenges organizations face when their needs fall outside large-scale project-based funding. 

With our newly established Black Bear Rehabilitation Center, we’ve cared for more cub patients than ever!
