Sustainability specialist joins Brevard Zoo team


Brevard Zoo is expanding its commitment to “growing a greener world” with its first-ever sustainability program manager. Sarah Burke will focus on reducing the Zoo’s environmental footprint while promoting sustainable actions both internally and within the community. 

After earning her undergraduate degree in zoology from Colorado State University, Burke worked as a nutrition and enrichment manager at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium for 10 years. She then pursued a master’s degree in sustainability at Saint Louis University, writing her graduate thesis on sustainability within zoos. Most recently, Burke worked for the University of Nebraska at Omaha as a sustainability coordinator.

“Sustainability is just another way of practicing wildlife conservation,” said Burke. “By furthering our green culture here at the Zoo, we become stronger advocates for the environment and serve as a resource for the people of Brevard County.”
