Bristol Zoo Gardens is at the heart of many breeding and conservation programmes to help save animals threatened with extinction. Some species, such as Socorro doves, are now extinct in the wild and are totally reliant on zoos to survive, which is why the success of captive breeding programmes is so important. Another vital breeding programme is for western lowland gorillas whose numbers in the wild have fallen dramatically because of hunting and loss of habitat.
They include two infant gorillas, Hasani and Juni, born last September and December. Bristol Zoological Society is also involved in conservation work across four continents helping to save a wide range of animals — from lemurs in Madagascar and giraffes in Cameroon, to blue monitor lizards. Breeding programmes are also going on at the Zoo to help preserve Desertas wolf spiders and lemur leaf frogs. Its new home will be much bigger, with significant growth in conservation and education work.
