Bloomberg's proposed budget cuts, which may eliminate funding for zoos, aquariums, and gardens have the heads of Brooklyn's beloved—and essential— institutions extremely concerned.

On Thursday, February 5, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Scot Medbury of the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden ,
John Cavelli of the Wildlife Conservation Society, the Center for the Urban
Environment and elected officials are gathering to denounce the elimination of state funding
for zoos, aquariums and botanical gardens.

This is happening at 11 am Steinhardt Auditorium at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Entrance is at 1000 Washinton Avenue between Eastern Parkway and Empire Boulevard.
