Did you know there are only 35 Javan rhinos left in the wild? Or in 2017 there were 1,028 rhinos poached in South Africa alone? The threat of extinction is alarming as these animals are disappearing due to intense poaching. The five rhino species are “Umbrella” species. Therefore, by saving the rhinos’ habitats, we are saving whole ecosystems that are home to hundreds of species of mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, and plants. This Bowling for Rhinos event helps protect 1.5 million acres of land in Kenya and 1.4 million acres in Indonesia.
The Bowling for Rhinos event is a fun way to help a very serious cause. Participants enjoy three full hours of bowling, food, and entertainment in exchange for donations. To maximize the amount we raise and send to conservation efforts, we need your help.

The American Association of Zoo Keepers, Inc. (AAZK) is proud to announce the 29th year of Bowling for Rhinos and Potter Park Zoo’s 5th event. Since 1990, zookeepers from the United States and Canada have donated their time and skills to run this event allowing every penny raised to go to help endangered species such as rhinos, cheetahs, elephants, and tigers. Bowling for Rhinos is one of the only fundraisers that gives 100% of all funds raised nationally directly to animal conservation.
The Potter Park Zoo AAZK Chapter will be holding their sixth annual event on Friday, August 2nd from 6 to 9 PM at City Limits East in East Lansing, MI.

Come join the party! From 12:00 pm – 4:00 pm we will be hosting a combined celebration for Earth Day, Endangered Species Day and World Oceans Day. This year’s theme is Spring into Action. Explore conservation issues with hands-on activities, information and demonstrations around the zoo. What can you do to help the planet?
Participate in a tree planting event at the zoo! We will be looking for volunteers to help plant trees from 1-3 p.m. Registration for volunteers is below.
Experience the wonder of wildlife in action as our Potter Park Zoo animals break into paper-mache creations custom made for us by Haslett’s Murphy Elementary fifth graders from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
“Party for the Planet” is included in regular admission price on Sunday, April 28, 2019. Come on out and celebrate with us!

Register for Volunteer Tree Planting!
Want to help us plant trees? We are partnering with Releaf Michigan and the DNR Urban and Community Forestry program to plant 20 trees around the zoo. We’re looking for volunteers of all ages to help us plant over 15 young native trees throughout the zoo! The plantings will begin at noon with light refreshments available after the event for volunteers.
All volunteers for the tree planting must pre-register and are welcome to stay after to enjoy the Zoo and the Party for the Planet activities.
Volunteers will be contacted a week prior to the event with instructions for entering the zoo. Please provide your email during registration. If you can no longer attend the volunteer event, please request a “refund” through eventbrite and your spots will open up for other volunteers.
