Help save big cat species from extinction

Adelaide Zoo and Monarto Safari Park are home to some of the most endangered cat species in the world, we work with conservation partners across Australia and around the world to support insurance population breeding and research, and of course protect the remaining wild populations which are facing decline due to habitat destruction, poaching and the illegal pet trade.
The three Sumatran Tiger cubs born in late 2022 are a big step in conservation of their species and your support as a club member will help us to care for them and the cubs yet to come from all our big cat species.

We are looking for passionate cat lovers to join the fight against extinction as part of an exclusive year-long donor circle with two available joining levels

Cat Level: $5,000
Cub Level: $2,500

Your donation is fully tax-deductible and all club members will receive:

  • Special morning tea with a tiger keeper at Adelaide Zoo

Cat level donors will also receive an invite to an exclusive cat morning tea and Cheetah tour at Monarto Safari Park, to go behind the scenes and learn about the world’s fastest species, which is unfortunately also racing towards extinction.

Please complete the below form and a member of the Zoos SA team will be in contact to take payment of your donation.

Critically Endangered 

With as little as 400 Sumatran Tigers remaining in the wild, your help is needed now to support conservation efforts in Sumatra, Indonesia and the vital insurance populations in partner zoos around the world. The three cubs born at Adelaide Zoo in late 2022 will go on to become part of this global insurance population, and we hope that the zoo and the wild will be home to many more tiger cubs in the future.

Vulnerable to Extinction 

The world’s fastest animal is also racing towards extinction with declining wild population numbers, they are now considered Africa’s most endangered big cat species. With your support, we’re building the Cheetah a new 50+ acre habitat at the park to continue the breeding program, and investing in wild populations through on the ground local support.

Vulnerable to Extinction 

Listed by the IUCN as vulnerable, the king of the jungle is marked as critically endangered in some African regions with habitat loss being one of the largest contributors to the population decline. Monarto Safari Park is home to largest pride of lions in Australia, and we work with carnivore conservation specialists in Zambia and other regions of Africa.
