Conservation Statement

“Continuing our efforts to contribute to the protection of the world’s biodiversity through support of conservation projects ex-situ and in-situ, through supporting conservation charities world-wide and the continued development of our own breeding programmes within the zoo. We will aim to always incorporate research, education, and sustainability into all aspects of our conservation work and continue to progress with our efforts to bring conservation education to our local communities.”

Blackpool Zoo is committed to the preservation of the Earth and its wildlife. Beyond living green ourselves, we are dedicated to the wildlife conservation projects we support both in the UK and around the world. We aim to safeguard the long-term future of animals by contributing significant resources towards conservation projects and working alongside local people, fellow conservation scientists, partner organisations and government agencies to achieve wildlife conservation goals. Our educational programmes are an integral part of Blackpool Zoo’s commitment to conservation. Successful conservation programs are realised through the education of the decision makers of tomorrow. We believe every child who can be reached is a potential future conservationist and every visitor can make a difference to the health and sustainability of wildlife and wild places. It is our role to instigate and support this interest.
