Safari Park...

Conservation Research

Conservation and preservation are at the heart of any good safari park – especially ours. We're hugely proud of our population of over 700 animals – some very special and intriguing. We aim to give our explorers an amazing interactive experience, all to help them learn about endangered animals. And, we’re always applying our specialist skills to identify and investigate threats to biodiversity, then following with real action to stop them. So even though we’re all about discovery and learning, you’ll find just as much desire for the conservation of our beautiful animals.
