Conservation and Research

The St. Augustine Alligator Farm and Zoological Park works with other North American zoos and aquariums in the Species Survival Program. That program manages the breeding of select species so the population is genetically diverse. In 2025, funds from the Night Market supported the Reptile Preservation Institute and the Alligator Farm Foundation.
