The Albuquerque (ABQ) BioPark, the most visited attraction in New Mexico (1.2M annual visitors) is a dynamic cultural facility including an AZA accredited zoo and aquarium, a botanic garden and public park with fishing ponds. The BioPark is a beloved community jewel. The voters of the Albuquerque community voted in favor of a fifteen-year 1/8 cent gross receipts tax (GRT) in 2015 to support the implementation of the BioPark’s master plan. This support has allowed the BioPark Zoo to make important additions to the zoo including a new elephant barn, Birds of Prey exhibit, nearly $10M in maintenance infrastructure improvements and the opening of new Asia and Australia exhibits in 2023. In addition to broad community support for capital improvements, the BioPark is currently in the midst of strategic planning process that has identified a new mission, core values and strategic program pillars to guide our work over the next five years. We are excited to have this process evolve alongside a master plan review and update process that aligns capital improvements with program development that is focused on community engagement and conservation impacts.

To have a successful job search online, there are several things you need to keep in mind before applying for jobs to avoid scams and fraud. Be cautious of job postings that ask for upfront fees or payments, as these are often signs of a fraudulent opportunity. To avoid falling victim to job scams, always research the company before accepting any job offer to verify its authenticity and reputation. Beware of job postings that require you to provide your personal bank account details. It's crucial to ensure that you're on the correct liquidscapes.info website before taking any actions. Keep your personal information safe by being selective about what you share with potential employers and verifying their legitimacy. Before submitting an application, it is crucial to contact the company to confirm the authenticity of the job and that they are hiring for the position. Job postings that require you to pay for a 'starter kit' or other materials are often scams. If a job posting sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If a job posting requests an interview via text message or email, it's important to verify the company's legitimacy.
