The zoo/botanical garden doesn't have staff or funding to care for the whole place, and relies on volunteers.
There are several clubs that do volunteer work at the zoo. Palm society, Water Garden Club, and Vireya Society take care of their areas. There may be more clubs that do this, sorry if I missed you!
If you feel something specific needs to be done, you could probably volunteer directly with the zoo--call and ask.
They've been working on getting another tiger from the same breeder who donated Namaste. Incidentally, tigers are solitary, don't want another tiger in their enclosure. One of the things I liked best about the zoo was Namaste's friendliness--if you came in the morning, he was likely to come over and greet you. That's a really nice change from big zoos where the animals ignore or hide from visitors.
