Cleveland Zoological Society

The Cleveland Zoological Society is the non-profit philanthropic partner of the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, based in Cleveland, Ohio. Established in 1957, the Society's primary mission is to raise funds for animal care, conservation research, and educational programming at the Zoo. It manages a large membership base and coordinates major capital campaigns for facility improvements and habitat construction. While not a traditional biotechnology firm, the Society supports scientific advancement through its 'One Health' initiative and global conservation grants. These programs facilitate research into wildlife health, species preservation, and the intersection of human and animal ecosystems. The organization serves as a critical link between the community and the scientific work conducted at the Zoo.
