Moody Gardens & Pacuare Reserve Partnership
In 2025, Moody Gardens committed to a three-year partnership with Ecology Project International (EPI), which manages Pacuare Reserve in Costa Rica. Through this collaboration, Moody Gardens will provide financial assistance via their conservation fund to support Agami Heron research and the construction of a bird blind to aid in observation and data collection.
