Zoo officials announced last month that the facility needs to raise $1 million by the end of 2007 and $3 million within a year to keep its doors open. Zoo management is collecting many pledges, we are here to help save our zoo.
Hurricanes in 2004 and 2005 caused The Zoo to close for nearly six months within one year, which caused a loss of $914,000 in projected revenues. In the recovery process officials said The Zoo received no federal assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) or any other disaster recovery organization and is still fighting for insurance help. The lack of financial support caused The Zoo to rack up nearly $2 million in debt since the storms.
