The Zoological Society of London has
made an outstanding contribution to
conservation and to our understanding of
wildlife for 200 years.
Today ZSL's work is vital in driving
forward the vision of a world
where wildlife thrives.
Its two zoos, London and Whipsnade,
are home to over 20,000 animals,
many of which are endangered in the wild,
from tiny dart frogs to majestic Tigers
and everything in between.
ZSL now faces its toughest
challenge to date.
Put bluntly the national institution
is now itself at risk of extinction.
The coronavirus pandemic forced London
and Whipsnade zoo to close its gates
for the first time since World War two, cutting off vital income.
Without your help, we could see the
closure of the world's oldest scientific zoo,
the place where generations of people
have forged a love of wildlife
through their joyful encounters with animals.
Now more than ever we must support
the work of this global conservation charity.
