Great British Wildlife Restoration - nominate your projects
Posted: 1st August, 2025The Great British Wildlife Restoration Awards by the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) is looking for Britain’s best zoo/aquarium projects protecting or restoring native species.
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, the project's founder said: “The Great British Wildlife Restoration has quickly become a parliamentary fixture. I want to see projects from members across all of the UK, big and small nominating projects and using this as the foghorn to shout about the incredible work taking place.”
The previous years have seen winners include the restoration of native oyster beds and the saving of the rare Welsh cotoneaster cambricus.
The competition is open to BIAZA member zoos and aquariums. Applications close 15 September.
