 Zoo corps

Zoo Corps is a volunteer program at the San Diego Zoo that enlists high school students to teach guests
at the zoo about the animals they are seeing and their place in the ecosystem. It enrolls students between
13 and 17 years of age. The goals are to promote public education about animals and conservation, and
to help the students develop their ability to speak in public
 awards
The San Diego Zoo has received numerous awards for its
exhibits, programs, and reproduction and conservation
efforts. This list includes only awards given to the Zoo
specifically, not to its parent organization; for those, see:

 features

The temperate, sunny maritime climate of California is well suited to many plants and
animals. Besides an extensive collection of birds, reptiles, and mammals, it also maintains its
grounds as an arboretum, with a rare plant collection. The zoo is also an accredited botanical
garden; the botanical collection includes more than 700,000 exotic plants. [37] As part of its
gardening effort, some rare animal foods are grown at the zoo. For example, 40 varieties of
bamboo were raised for the pandas when they were at the zoo on long-term loan from China.
It also maintains 18 varieties of eucalyptus trees to feed its koalas.
