Each day these facilities care for animals and collaborate to save species from extinction, but necessary COVID- 19 operating restrictions have put them and their crucial work in jeopardy. Zoos and aquariums are uniquely vulnerable because, unlike many other business entities, they must provide ongoing care for hundreds of thousands of animals. The animals cannot be furloughed. Therefore, our members must continue to pay the high fixed costs of animal care with little to no opportunity to earn revenue while absorbing monthly operating losses that in some cases run into the millions of dollars. As this crisis extends, some zoos and aquariums are facing the prospect of permanent closure. All of our member facilities have incredibly difficult choices ahead of them. We need Congress’s immediate help. As mission driven organizations, the majority of our zoos and aquariums continue to shoulder the costs of caring for, rescuing, breeding, and relocating endangered or threatened species, many of which are the responsibility of or owned by the federal government.
