Conservation education plays a huge role in preventing extinction by sharing important conservation messaging with our visitors in the zoo, in school and online. From school visits to animals talks and digital content creation, we reach audiences through lots of different engagement techniques.

Field Skills and Ecology

We work in the field across the UK and around the world. Join this webinar to explore some of the skills used to monitor and record wildlife and support conservation across the globe. From monitoring native species numbers to tracking movements of wild animals, field skills are vital to preventing extinction.
Animal Behaviour
Thursday 9 March

Caring for the huge variety of animals that call Chester Zoo home is no small task. Studying the behaviour of our animals can support us to give them the best possible care. Our science and keeper teams work closely together to make sure our animals have everything they need including a well-designed habitat and suitable enrichment.
