The Bronx Zoo Goes Green During Earth Month!
D. DeMello ©WCSAs part of its Earth Month festivities in April, 2009 the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo will host the first annual Green Festival. The month-long fair will showcase companies looking to build awareness of their environmentally responsible practices, services, and products.
At the Green Festival, up to 160,000 zoo visitors will browse booths featuring companies with eco-friendly initiatives. If you would like to align your company with one of the world’s leading conservation organizations, the Bronx Zoo is the place to be this April.

Best of all, visitors will be able to connect with more than 4,000 animals throughout the zoo, representing our planet’s wild ambassadors.
