Palm Oil Policy
The Kansas City Zoo & Aquarium strives to only purchase products that use certified sustainable palm oil to help save orangutans and all animals affected by non-sustainable palm oil farming.
Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil
Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil Membership (RSPO), initiated by Cinnamon Williams, Animal Curator, gives the Zoo a voice in determining the standards for sustainable palm oil.
