"Over the last 100 years, as we’ve faced shocks and stresses, the Houston Zoo is still here going strong, not pulling back but continuing to be transformational for the people in our city…the Houston Zoo exemplifies the resilience of our city," Mayor Turner said.
"At one point Hermann Park and the Zoo were one in the same, there was no fence around the Zoo, but there was a fence around Earl but look at it now, we’re a world-class, zoo-based wildlife conservation organization right here in the heart, and in the hearts, of Houston," Ehmke said. He also noted how despite trials and tribulations, the Houston Zoo managed to withstand it all while maintaining its mission to save wildlife.
"Over the past 100 years, our Zoo has seen two world wars, a depression, multiple hurricanes, and a pandemic, yet we persevered and have thrived," Ehmke added. "Today, we’re connecting communities with animals to inspire action to save wildlife. We’ve transformed the Zoo to take visitors around the world from the far reaches of South America in our Pantanal exhibit to our very own Texas Wetlands, but we’re far from done.
