Posted on: 17 June, 2025

We are proud to present our Impact Report for 2024.

This important document celebrates the work and global achievements of our teams both here in the UK and in the field.

As a conservation and education charity we work in nine countries, across four continents, to protect the world’s most threatened species. In 2024 we directed 25 field conservation projects with 30 partner organisations internationally.

At home in Bristol, we are busy creating a new conservation zoo at Bristol Zoo Project, where at least 85% of species are both threatened, and part of targeted conservation programmes.

The report focuses on the work of our field conservation projects, native species efforts, conservation breeding successes, higher education team, and our engagement with local schools, groups and communities.
