For over a century, The Detroit Zoological Society has been fostering meaningful connections among people, animals, and the natural world. They offer engaging experiences that educate and inspire the community, prioritize the care and conservation of animals, and advocate for a healthier natural world through sustainability. Their efforts ignite positive change and build lifelong connections.
While their commitment to these connections remains true, the Zoo continues to evolve. As they strive to be a catalyst for positive change in a world where animals and nature are valued, understood, and protected by all, they are thrilled to introduce a new brand identity that celebrates their mission.
