SAN DIEGO (March 3, 2021) Today, on World Wildlife Day, San Diego Zoo Global is evolving into the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance (SDZWA), broadening integrated approaches to protecting and conserving wildlife around the globe, an all-new brand identity which emphasizes the health of wildlife, people, and the environment are interconnected and linked to the health of our planet.

The gorilla troop at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park is recovering following the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 in humans, in several troop members earlier this month.

Today, two southern white rhino calves played, chased impalas, and met giraffes and African crowned cranes as they explored the expansive African Plains habitat at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park—and at the same time, two greater one-horned rhino calves jogged and gave themselves mud baths in their Asian Savanna habitat.

The San Diego Zoo Safari Park is offering free admission to all active firefighters throughout the month of September, to honor the hard-working men and women who help protect people, wildlife and structures across the region.
