Activity - Conservation in and beyond the Zoo

Completion requirements

Good modern zoos contribute to conservation work that helps protect and preserve wildlife. This often means that zoos liaise closely with other organisations, both in their own countries and beyond.

In this activity, we ask you to think about endangered animals cared for at Auckland Zoo or another zoo that you are familiar with. 

Try to find out what actions are being taken to help the conservation of these species. 

You can use the downloadable activity sheet to record your answers.
