On April 27, the Detroit Zoological Society held its 2nd annual Wildlife Conservation Gala at the Wildlife Interpretive Gallery inside the Detroit Zoo. Over 120 guests enjoyed cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a sit-down dinner. Themed “Standing Up to Extinction,” the gala featured a presentation of the zoo’s efforts to save species from extinction. The event raised over $69,000 for the DZS’s wildlife conservation programs.
