Founded in 1868, Lincoln Park Zoo is dedicated to connecting people with nature through a free, family-oriented wildlife experience in the heart of Chicago and by advancing the highest quality of animal care, education, science, and conservation. This is a charge Lincoln Park Zoo is ready to lead. We’re at the forefront of studying how people and nature clash and coexist, and teaching visitors of all backgrounds how nature must be integrated in our lives for healthy, happy futures for people and animals alike. Our vision: Inspire communities to create environments where wildlife will thrive in our urbanizing world. Welcome to Lincoln Park Zoo. We are committed to creating an environment that is inclusive and welcoming. We celebrate the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, values, and experiences of all people. Creating a safe, welcoming space for all is a responsibility for everyone. We expect guests, staff, and volunteers to treat one another—as well as zoo animals and grounds—with respect and care. By visiting the zoo, you agree to adhere to our code of conduct and visitor guidelines, which help protect both people and animals. https://www.lpzoo.org/guest-guidelines-and-code-of-conduct/

What's in a name? That which we call a black-and-white colobus monkey by any other name would be just as wonderful.

The newest member to the colobus monkey troop needs a name, and we need your help! The options are:
- Moshi: “smoke” in east African languages. The word refers to the mist and clouds that shroud Mt. Kilimanjaro, as well as a city in the foothills.
- Nuru: “light” or “brightness” in east African languages. It represents hope and positivity.
- Ndogo: a Swahili word used to describe a small animal or person.
- Mbega: the Swahili word for the black-and-white colobus monkey.
