Friends of the National Zoo (FONZ) has been a leading force in wildlife conservation and education in the Washington, D.C. area since 1958. With a mission to save threatened species and ecosystems, FONZ has funded and supported various conservation projects while igniting interest among families to connect with and learn about wildlife conservation.
In the fall of 2021, FONZ will be rebranding and relaunching as Conservation Nation, continuing its commitment to protecting endangered wildlife and providing inspiring educational opportunities. Through grants and programs, Conservation Nation aims to support emerging and established wildlife conservationists from underrepresented groups, ensuring a sustainable future for our planet's biodiversity.
