Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, DiVentures Announces Partnership

Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium is happy to announce DiVentures (www.diventures.com) as an official partner of the Zoo. This innovative partnership will focus on Ocean Health Conservation and Education programs. Over the next 5 years, DiVentures will be supporting the following key projects of Omaha’s Zoo and Aquarium:

• Coral research, conservation and restoration through the Zoo’s partnership with SECORE International, a leading conservation organization for the protection and restoration of coral reefs. Funds will allow SECORE to purchase coral seeding units, which are integral to upscaling experiments and restoration efforts.
• Ocean and fresh water policy, conservation and awareness by supporting the Aquarium Conservation Partnership (ACP). Omaha’s Zoo and Aquarium was a founding member of ACP, which is a collective of 22 Association of Zoos and Aquariums accredited aquariums across the country taking action together to advance ocean and freshwater conservation.
• Education and engagement by creating curriculum for the Ocean Health Conservation Program and funding a newly created position of conservation education coordinator at the Zoo. This role will be responsible for developing Ocean Health Conservation Programs, developing curriculum for Zoo events, day camps and classroom activities focused on healthy oceans, and building partnerships with other organizations to increase our reach and effectiveness.
• Providing corporate donations for the Zoo’s upcoming sea lions project.
