Chester Zoo

 

Members make a big difference

Take out a membership, and you’ll be making a valuable contribution to the important work Chester Zoo does.  Its charity fund, Act for Wildlife, is a community of experts and enthusiasts, all taking action to protect the natural world. So part of your contribution as a member goes towards the zoo’s mission to prevent extinction.   The zoo is fighting to protect species both at the zoo and in the field.  Donors and members enable this to happen.  The zoo needs all our support.  Sign up by 31 December 2023, and you'll get a £10 voucher to spend at the zoo!

And - there's a very special news from Chester Zoo!  A critically endangered eastern black rhino calf arrived into the world, and more specifically, at Chester Zoo, and keepers were able to film the birth!

Snow leopards are coming to Chester Zoo!

Chester Zoo's new snow leopard habitat will be open to visitors from Monday 25 March
-
catch a glimpse of Nubra and Yashin settling in to their new home!
Chester says, "become a member and get early access to the new Himalayan habitat
on 22, 23 and 24 March. No need to book, simply show your membership card on entry."

Chester Zoo is very busy with its conservation efforts:  They are bringing nature back to Cheshire with a new Networks for Nature project - you can find out about that here.  In the spring of 2024, snow leopards will arrive at Chester Zoo, making a new Himalayan area at the zoo their home and enabling it to join a global conservation breeding programme for snow leopards.  The species is listed as vulnerable, and estimates are there are fewer than 3,500 left in the wild.
