Bill 5 , the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, would strike a blow to the recovery of several species the institution has been trying to save.

The zoo wants the province to step up with funding to increase its biobank with Ontario species that could die off as a result of the legislation.

The zoo collected sperm and eggs from wood bison populations, which are susceptible to disease, across the province.

From that technique, the zoo was able to help create 15 bison that now live there.

They are still working on reintroduction programs for the bison , but they've had success with other animals like the dusky gopher frog.
