Help Save Our Gardens, Zoos, and Aquariums from Severe Budget Cuts

Living museums such as Brooklyn Botanic Garden face severe New York State budget cuts and need your help! Governor Paterson's state budget proposes to cut New York State's Zoos, Botanical Gardens, and Aquariums (ZBGA) Program funding from $9 million to ZERO in the next fiscal year.

The proposed elimination of the ZBGA Program would seriously compromise New York's zoological and botanical resources. The state legislature is scheduled to vote on Governor Paterson’s proposed budget on April 1. Please take a moment of your time to let Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Majority Leader Malcolm Smith know how important these institutions are to you and urge them not to eliminate critical state funding.
