The SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund was designed to offer funds, knowledge and assistance to wildlife conservation efforts across the globe. We believe that by sharing resources and information, we can protect and preserve the world’s most precious resources – its wildlife and wild places. This is rewarding work, and nowhere was this more evident than in the case of Chhouk, the baby elephant.

Even though the illegal wildlife trade still poses a huge threat to many species – the Wildlife Alliance has taken on the mission of coming to the aid of these victimized animals.

Many native species are facing extinction due to the disruption of this delicate ecosystem.

We live in a world of incredible beauty, and no place is this more apparent than in the Florida Keys. This tropical paradise often serves as an oasis for people wanting to get away from the stressors of life – but unfortunately the animals of the area won’t have the same privilege unless we help them.

From Wisconsin to California to Hawaii, Dr. Chris Dold has had his fair share of traveling. And SeaWorld can’t be happier to call him the Vice President of Veterinary Services. Chris has been making a difference with SeaWorld for five years and continues to succeed in helping animals thrive.
