    Activity - Connecting people with zoos

    Completion requirements

    There are many ways that zoos connect with people. Sometimes this might be an onsite visit with our family or friends. Other times we might have a ‘digital visit’ or use a zoo website to research or connect with people or animals at the zoo. 

    This activity asks you to reflect on the various ways you have connected with zoos, the reasons for this connection and the different people within the zoo you have connected with. 

    You can use the downloadable activity sheet to fill in your answers.
