Jaguar Society was established to recognize, engage and appreciate the Zoo’s most dedicated and visionary supporters. Its members are a group of individuals who are true partners in helping forge the Zoo’s future. Jaguar Society members hold a special status within our family with the opportunity to be intimately and actively involved in the roll-out of new programs, projects and habitats and the assessment of long-term goals and accomplishment of strategic initiatives that continue to make Brevard Zoo a jewel within our community, county and state.
