Our mission is preventing extinction. Zoos like ours are conservation powerhouses. Our unique combination of living collections, millions of visitors, scientific expertise and wide ranging skills can be harnessed to make a substantial contribution to prevent extinction across the globe.

Situation
Over 1 million species are in immediate danger of extinction. We must bring together our skill sets and combine them with those of a wide range of partners to tackle the causes of extinction in order to ensure that our planet remains diverse and vibrant. With your support we will deliver our global field conservation programme in 2021, focussing on our six regions which coincide with some of the planet’s global biodiversity hotspots where there is the greatest threat to habitats and species.
Solution
At the zoo we care for over 20,000 animals and 525 species. Over the next 10 years, we will continue to work in six regions (UK and Europe, Latin America, Africa, Madagascar & The Mascarenes, Mainland Asia, South East Asian Islands) reversing declines of 200 species of highly important plants and animals, empowering people to live more sustainably, and improving habitats for wildlife.
