Sustainability
Zoos South Australia will work towards sustainability and reducing its ‘ecological footprint’. It will use natural resources in a way that does not lead to their decline, thus meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations.
Zoos South Australia will lead by example by using green practices throughout its operations and by demonstrating methods by which visitors can adopt more sustainable lifestyles.
