The Taronga Conservation Field Grants program expands the Taronga Conservation Society Australia's commitment on the ground to sustain secure wildlife populations in natural eco-systems and habitats. The Zoos conduct a huge range of conservation research, breeding and in situ projects from Antarctica to Mongolia and throughout Australia and Asia, while providing wildlife health services to thousands of native animals each year.

Since its inception in 2000, the Taronga Foundation has contributed more than half a million dollars to conservation programs around the world and field grants have been awarded to projects from Africa to Fiji.
