Corucia Conservatory includes two collaborating facilities, one in southwestern Virginia and one in New York.
Goals: Corucia Conservatory’s goals are to establish breeding colonies of Corucia zebrata for study to aid species survival in captivity (primarily) and the wild (secondarily), and to maximize benefits of the colony through research, teaching and conservation.
