Lion Country Safari - Conservation

What is AAZK?
The American Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) is a non-profit organization founded by professional animal care staff and related persons interested in promoting zoo keeping skills and animal care as a profession.

The local Lion Country Safari Chapter participates in several events and fundraisers throughout the year to promote animal keeping and raise money for various efforts benefiting animals. Some of the on-going and annual projects that the local chapter volunteers time and effort to coordinate include:

Cell Phone Recycling
*$5 Discount Admission Offer*
Bring in one or more used cell phones to donate for recycling to the front office during normal park hours and receive a $5 discount on admission to Lion Country Safari for each person in your vehicle.

Do you have a used cell phone lying around? Do you know someone that just bought a new cell phone and doesn't know what to do with the old one? Please bring in any used cell phones to recycle them and help raise money for conservation at the same time! It is easy. Lion Country Safari's chapter of the American Association of Zoo Keepers is now recycling used cell phones to prevent hazardous electronic waste from entering our landfills and to raise funds for various conservation projects. Cell phone accessories including batteries and chargers are also welcome. Admission is not necessary to drop off donations, which can be brought to the main office any day during regular park hours (9:30am - 5:30pm). Spread the word by asking family and friends if they have cell phones that could be recycled too!

Bowling for Rhinos

Every year Lion Country Safari's chapter of AAZK participates in the Bowling for Rhinos event which raises funds to benefit rhinoceros conservation in both Africa and Asia. Bowlers collect sponsorship money to attend the event usually held in the summer months. One hundred percent of all donations go directly to saving four species of rhinoceros in three different rhino conservation organizations in Kenya, Java, and Sumatra. These efforts not only support rhinoceros species but they also protect unique ecosystems, enabling the conservation of hundreds of endangered plants and animals. If you are interested in supporting the Lion Country Safari chapter's Bowling for Rhino event with monetary or prize donations, please contact:

Cheetah Chili Cook-Off

An annual tradition for several years, the Cheetah Chili Cook-Off is a cooking competition representing many styles of chili while raising funds for cheetah conservation. Awards are granted during the competition to the tastiest recipes. All money raised is donated to the Cheetah Conservation Fund to benefit research and education about cheetahs and their ecosystems.

Ink Cartridge Recycling
In partnership with Empties4Cash, Lion Country Safari's AAZK Chapter recycles ink cartridges and ink toners from printers on property. The recycling program saves needless waste from entering landfills by remanufacturing ink cartridges into fresh compatible ones. In addition, as more used ink cartridges are recycled and remanufactured less energy is spent creating new cartridges.
