Become a memberOur role in global conservation
By 2030 we will:
Reverse the decline of 50 species
As our planet’s biodiversity declines at an alarming rate, modern-day zoos and wildlife conservation charities such as RZSS are more relevant than ever before. With your support, we can achieve our pledge to reverse the decline of at least 50 species, from pine hoverflies and wildcats in the Cairngorms National Park, to chimpanzees in Uganda, giant anteaters in Brazil and many more.
Create stronger connections
Making nature more accessible is fundamental because people protect and value what they love and understand. Edinburgh Zoo is a gateway to the natural world through which people can learn about the challenges facing wildlife and how we can help save species from extinction. We pledge to create deeper connections with nature for more than a million people.
Better protect nature
Stronger communities have a greater capacity to care for wildlife – and through our zoos and our global reach we can help people realise the mental and physical health and wellbeing benefits of being close to nature. This is why we are pledging to enable more than 100 communities to better protect nature. Now is the time to work more collaboratively than ever before.
How you can help
Together, we can create a world where nature is protected, valued and loved.
More than a million animals are at risk of extinction. Nature needs us all now more than ever. Now is the time to act.
Your support will help protect the nature that you love today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
