Conservation/Conservation Green Committee
Every year, Reptile Gardens makes special donations to various environmental conservation organizations, including the Charles Darwin Center in the Galapagos Islands. The money donated to these wildlife organizations helps to protect the natural wildlife of these spectacular environments.
The stockholders of Reptile Gardens have created a task force to explore energy conservation applications and the exciting potential for introducing energy efficient technologies to their grounds. Members from this team attend community seminars in order to educate themselves about recycling, energy conservation, and the possibility of wind and solar power in the area. They hope to eventually install solar panels and wind turbines on their grounds.
