World-renowned artist’s mural illustrates the Zoo’s global mission

San Diego Zoo Global’s recent debut of its new identity, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, is a resounding reaffirmation of the venerable institution’s commitment to animals and plants through conservation and protection efforts worldwide. Not just a change in nomenclature, this new iteration will deepen the organization’s nearly 200 global partnerships with others that share the Zoo’s mission to advance the care and conservation of all species. The announcement was heralded with the presentation of a brilliant mural commissioned by the organization depicting this mission through the eyes of celebrated Brazilian artist Romero Britto, whose work is known for its bold beauty as an expression of hope and happiness. The piece, Nature (featured here), will be installed at the San Diego Zoo’s Kids Store, located within the downtown park, as a lasting visual representation of the Alliance’s essence. sandiegozoowildlifealliance.org
