Conservation
Animal welfare and conservation are our highest priorities at Blackpool Zoo
We know how important conservation is for the future of our animals and the planet we share with them, and we love sharing this with you, our visitors. You’ll learn lots about our projects when you visit the Zoo, but you can also read up on all our programmes below. There are even ways for you to get involved, too!
