As the original science-driven conservation organisation, we’re working to restore wildlife in the UK and around the world.
We’re a powerful movement of conservationists, working together to save animals on the brink of extinction and those who could be next. We protect critical species, restore healthy ecosystems, collaborate with communities around the world and inspire support for nature, all driven by world-leading science.
Our unique insight and evidence-based approach informs positive change and underpins sustainable solutions that really work - for wildlife and people, creating a future where wildlife can thrive.
Bristol Zoological Society is a conservation and education charity which owns and operates Bristol Zoo Project. We lead ground-breaking conservation and research projects spanning five continents across the world. With nearly a quarter of all mammal species and a third of amphibians threatened with extinction, there’s an urgent need to safeguard our wildlife. From the forests of the Philippines to the shores of South Africa to right here in south west England, we work tirelessly with local communities to save wildlife, improve the environment and enrich lives.
