EFFECTS AND RESULTS
Cost Reduction
Curacao Zoo had a lot of financial issues for long time because is supported by a small amount from the government that barely helps to maintain the zoo open.
One of the major problems was cleaning items that includes disinfectants and antibacterial agents that meant a monthly cost of about USD2250.
EM not only is good for the environment and animals but also good for their budget.
Further, Curacao Zoo produces about 700kg of waste every week that they used to send to a landfill. This was a high cost for the zoo but today, the staff pile up kitchen garbage and ferment it with EM to make compost. Therefore, the zoo is happy to save money and make possible a self-sustainable system.
Better Crops
After applying EM in their daily general maintenance of their garden and farming area, they got healthy crops and delicious.
They expressed that "good crops means good diet and good diet means healthy animals".
Healthier Animals

Doing the Best for a Better Island
Curacao zoo is now fully dedicated to educate their community of about 150,000 residents plus tourists and aims to make a better island applying EM in every step of their daily life.
