About Norma Cogar Memorial Wildlife Center
Our Mission
At Norma Cogar Memorial Wildlife Center, our mission is to protect the environment and promote sustainability for future generations. We work towards reducing carbon emissions, conserving natural resources, and promoting eco-friendly practices.
A second part of this mission is to help give animals a second chance in the wild by studying their habits and habitats, educating others in the importance of living alongside wildlife, and helping to restore wild lands that have been lost so that all wildlife can thrive in today's world.
Our History
Founded in 2006, Norma Cogar Memorial Wildlife Center has been a leading environmental organization for over two decades. Originally founded as Cincinnati Exotics Animal Center, We have a proven track record of successful campaigns and initiatives that have helped to improve the health of our planet.
Conservation Through Education and Experiences
We aim to help others understand and desire to be a part of the conservation movement through education and unique experiences. From witnessing the release of animals rehabilitated after injury (through video), to seeing them in a natural enclosure enjoying life as though they were in the wild, to seeing animals in the wild on our Nature Hikes Series, we aim to bring everyone the opportunity to enjoy wildlife and be a part of conservation.
Our Accomplishments
Over the years, Norma Cogar Memorial Wildlife Center has achieved many important milestones in the world of conservation. From reintroducing endangered species to the wild, to establishing protected habitats and helping wild animals go back home during rescues (not requiring extended care), we are proud of the work we have done to protect wildlife and promote biodiversity.
