Charity Heart

Twycross Zoo is a registered charity (number 501841) which exists to support conservation, education and research.

APRIL FOOLS

You didn’t really believe us… did you?

Though this is all fun and games, it’s no joke that we need to act now to save endangered species around the world.

Twycross Zoo is proud to be working at the forefront of conservation, helping to protect and preserve species both here at the zoo and around the world, through in-situ conservation projects; but we cannot do it without your continued support.

As a registered charity, we rely on visitors and donations to fund our work to support and save these beautiful creatures. We would be truly grateful if you can support us with a donation, or visit to Twycross Zoo.

Though nobody wants to smell like a chimpanzee or a rhino… we all want to save them from extinction, right?

THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH...

CRITICALLY ENDANGERED

The Sumatran tiger is a critically endangered species. As many parts of the Indonesian jungle are becoming destroyed, the species is struggling to survive in it's natural habitat

ALL 4 ENDANGERED

Twycross Zoo is proud to be the only zoo in the UK home to all four great apes. Sadly, all four species are either endangered or critically endangered. This is due to human caused factors including habitat destruction, poaching and the illegal pet trade.

CRITICALLY ENDANGERED

The Eastern black rhino is critically endangered and primarily threatened by human poaching. The Western black rhino subspecies is already extinct.

AT RISK OF EXTINCTION

There are less than one hundred Amur leopards remaining in the wild. This is the most endangered big cat on the planet right now. Twycross Zoo has supported the species with numerous contributions to a successful international breeding programme.
