Empathy is a powerful emotion that drives our connection with those around us. It is a capacity that most humans are born with, is developed over time, and reinforced through our interactions with the world. Empathy is also an important driver for positive social change and motivates people to take caring action towards animals and nature. Here at Woodland Park Zoo, we believe that fostering empathy with animals is a powerful tool for empowering our guests and the community to make conservation a priority in their lives.
