More details

Animal care/feeding/treatment/upkeep continues during a pandemic and the need to generate income is critical to survival. Zoos play a vital role in conservation in the UK and around the world. Institutions spend millions annually funding conservation that helps to preserve the habitats and numbers of critically endangered animals. This crucial conservation and zoo animals lives have once again been put under threat by the re-closure of zoos with many again facing closure due to lack of income.
