BIAZA calls for native species projects for Great British Wildlife Restoration

The competition aims to raise politicians’ awareness of the work of conservationists. Members of Parliament and the Lords will vote for their favourite project with the winner announced at a special parliamentary reception. 

Andy Hall, BIAZA’s Public Affairs Manager said: “With so many new faces in Westminster it is vital that as a sector we demonstrate the breadth of incredible native species conservation projects taking place across our brilliant zoos and aquariums. I hope this year we can show even more politicians the power of the zoo sector in restoring nature and connecting people to nature.”  

The previous year saw the very first Great British Wildlife Restoration which saw ZSL’s oyster restoration win the most votes from politicians, with projects from Askham Bryan, Twycross Zoo and Chester Zoo also recognised in a reception in Parliament. 

The competition is open to BIAZA member zoos and aquariums. Applications close 13 September.
