Jack Hanna, best known for his television show (Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures) and appearances on programs such as Good Morning America and the David Letterman Show, has been director and then Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo for more than 30 years. What most people don’t know is that Jack Hanna has been a pioneer in the zoo world through his commitment to promoting the Columbus Zoo’s support of field conservation and research for the last 20 years. Jack’s conservation commitment created a conservation ethic that has resulted in over $3.8 million dollars being allocated in just the last five years alone through the Columbus Zoo Conservation Fund (CZCF). Field projects that have received grants from the CZCF have involved species as diverse as gorilla, chimpanzee, snow leopard, manatee, elephant, rhino, drill, tiger, Bongo antelope, as well as support for numerous education programs around the globe concerning animal habitat preservation.
