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. As an integral part of our team, they play a critical role in helping ensure the vitality, excellence and progress of the Zoo. The Society provides an opportunity for these like-minded special friends of the Zoo to effectively participate in the planning and execution of key programs and achievement of goals, while demonstrating a true legacy of leadership for our community. 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 exhibits 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.

As a Jaguar Society member, your support furthers our work in conservation (local and worldwide), our commitment to animal wellness and our dedication to education.
