Through its 2015 sponsorship of WCS (Wildlife Conservation
Society), a science-based conservation organization that helps save
wildlife and wild places worldwide, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in
digital imaging solutions, is proud to announce its support for the
renovation of the Children’s Zoo, a three-acre exhibit for children
and families located in the Bronx Zoo in New York. Canon joined the
Children’s Zoo official reopening event on May 30 with local
community members to help celebrate the completed renovation.
“WCS is grateful to Canon U.S.A. for sharing our vision of a
world where wildlife thrives in healthy lands and seas,” said Dr.
Cristián Samper, president and CEO, WCS. “A visit to the Bronx
Zoo’s Children’s Zoo is a cherished memory for
millions. Nearly 75 years after its historic opening, WCS has
renovated and enhanced the exhibit with generous support from
Canon. The Bronx Zoo has introduced exciting new species, colorful
updated graphics, and innovative play experiences – while
maintaining the iconic experiences and nostalgia that people recall
from childhood.”
Canon helped support WCS’s renovation of its iconic Children’s
Zoo, which now includes species native to Central and South
America, such as a two-toed sloth, South American squirrel monkeys
and the world’s smallest deer: the pudu. Additionally, as the
exclusive sponsor of some of the new innovative play experiences
for children and families at the exhibit, Canon is supporting the
“Children’s Zoo Quests” through the Adventure Club program, an
interactive activity with educational challenges and games about
wildlife and animal behaviors.
“Canon is proud to collaborate with the WCS and support the new
Children’s Zoo and its initiatives,” said Joe Adachi, chairman and
CEO, Canon U.S.A., Inc. “The organization’s mission to conserve our
wildlife aligns with the conservation efforts and educational
initiatives that Canon is committed to supporting. We are excited
to work with the WCS and participate in the educational activations
for children and families to enjoy.”
The Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo is open daily from
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. weekdays, 5:30 p.m. weekends from April to
