Chester Zoo  

Working with Rangers in Kenya on a variety of Black Rhino projects, we provide vital supplies, for example, uniforms and boots. A strong pair of walking boots can make all the difference to someone who may spend weeks in the bush tracking poachers. Help secure the future of the magnificent Black Rhinos in the National Park by providing their rangers with the right equipment. Your gift can keep them one step ahead.

Your gift can help to secure the future for these magnificent creatures by helping to train tiger conservationists in the wild. A ‘purrrfect’ gift for for cat lovers everywhere!

Girls love nothing more than a little pampering and what’s better than a pedicure to make your feet feel good. It’s just the same for elephants, for whom foot care is an essential part of their weekly routine. Keepers clean, check and treat any foot problems within the large herd at Chester, helping to keep the ladies in tip top condition.

Have you got the bottle to help? Sometimes it’s a tall order for inexperienced mother giraffes to feed their babies. When this happens, our dedicated keepers have to hand rear the youngsters, feeding up to six times a day with as much as nine litres of creamy gold top milk. Hand feeding continues for 11 months, until the baby is weaned. Help make sure those big babies get what they need.

£15 can help buy chilli seeds for a struggling Assamese family. Chillies are a small plant with huge benefits. Dried, crushed and then burnt to create a pungent smoke, they are used by Assamese people to deter elephants who may otherwise trample their crops and villages. Chillies can also be used to curry favour with struggling villagers by providing an alternative crop and therefore a new source of income. Your gift will help the villagers and the elephants to live in harmony.
