London Zoo Membership

 

Give a Gift Membership to ZSL London Zoo!

Its vision is a world where wildlife thrives and to tackle the challenges wild animals face, and help people achieve positive change, 

Memberships help contribute towards achieving these goals, partly by supporting them, and partly by giving members the opportunity to get involved and feel a connection to wildlife, whether they are visiting ZSL London Zoo or ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, and giving people the chance to see the animals for real and even have an animal experience.  If we feel a connection to wildlife, we are more likely to want to care for it, to protect and conserve it. 

Take a look to see what's on at the zoos.

BIG NEWS from ZSL London Zoo!

They are thrilled to say that Sumatran tigers Gaysha and Asim are proud parents of THREE Sumatran tiger cubs!  These species is incredibly rare, with  between 300 to 400  left in the wild so this is a really important event in the tiger world.  Everyone is doing well, and attentive mum Gaysha has let the cubs go outside, now that the weather is warmer.     Don't forget that the 29th July 2022 is #GlobalTigerDay - a great chance to boost your knowledge about this beautiful species. ZSL has 11 Amazing things you never knew about Sumatran Tigers here

ZSL has three things it wants to do, and I quote from their website:

  • Inspire future generations through amazing experiences with wild animals, giving them a lifelong connection to wildlife and showing the part that they can play in wildlife conservation.
  • Inform the world about the challenges facing wildlife and the ways we all can address these, based on our scientific research, experience and expertise.
  • Empower communities, leaders and influencers by giving them the methods, evidence, tools and skills to enable people and wildlife to thrive together.

5 ways you can help ZSL achieve its mission:

  1. Give a gift membership 
  2. Adopt an animal - sloths, tigers, elephants, penguins, giraffes and lions
  3. Simply donate - you could send the recipient a card, e-card or email to say that you've done this on their behalf for their Christmas present this year
  4. Buy a ticket for a future visit
  5. Buy something from the online shop

You could adopt an animal for a gift

Give a gift from ZSL's online shop 

ZSL has lots of gorgeous gifts for everyone in the family, plus of course animal adoptions such as adopting a sloth.  It's a great way to support ZSL!  There are gifts for all the family, with soft toys, books, greeting cards, jewellery, clothing and accessories and more! Why not give ZSL an extra gift for all their work to help conservation and look after the animals in their care, by giving them a donation as well?  The animals would be very grateful.
