St. Louis – The St. Louis Zoo is working with communities in Africa to try to preserve the Grevy's zebra. Unlike plains zebras, which are plentiful, the Grevy's zebras are endangered.
Martha Fischer is the curator of mammals at the St. Louis Zoo; she also manages the Species Survival Plan for the animal. KWMU's science reporter Julie Bierach spoke with her about her recent trip to Africa where the zebras are facing numerous challenges.
