Bristol Zoological Society

Bristol Zoological Society is a conservation and education charity that works around the world. Our mission is “Saving Wildlife Together”.

We save wildlife together through conservation science research, working to protect species and habitats overseas, encouraging sustainable behaviours and perceptions, educating tomorrow’s wildlife warriors and connecting people with nature through a great day out.

Our conservation science efforts are worldwide, from helping to re-introduce white-clawed crayfish into UK rivers to working with communities in the Philippines to save the Critically Endangered Negros bleeding-heart dove.

What we stand for

Our commitment to wildlife is centuries old. It comes from a desire to better understand life on our planet and inspire people to engage with nature. We have one mission - Saving Wildlife Together.

Our volunteers and staff are guided by a commons set of values, which shape how we behave.
