Foundation
The Fondation du Zoo de Granby is a non-profit organization with the mission of financing and promoting conservation, research and education projects for the preservation of wildlife, flora and the environment in Québec and around the world.
It also supports initiatives aimed at the continuous improvement of our animal well-being here at the Zoo.

- A project for reinstating bats
- A new habitat for our Amur leopards
- Social-community visits
- Annual support for several international research and conservation programs for endangered species, such as the snow leopard and the Amur tiger.
