The Royal Zoological Society Of Scotland

The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) is a leading conservation charity dedicated to the protection of wildlife and their habitats. Founded in 1909, RZSS operates two major zoos: Edinburgh Zoo and the Highland Wildlife Park, both of which play a crucial role in animal conservation and education.

At RZSS, our mission is to inspire and empower people to take action for wildlife. We achieve this through various initiatives, including:

• Conservation Programs: We engage in numerous conservation projects both locally and globally, focusing on endangered species and their ecosystems.
• Education and Outreach: Our educational programs aim to raise awareness about biodiversity and the importance of wildlife conservation among visitors of all ages.
• Research: RZSS conducts vital research that informs conservation strategies and enhances our understanding of animal behaviour and health.

Our vision is a world where wildlife thrives alongside people. We believe that by fostering a connection between humans and nature, we can create a sustainable future for all living beings. RZSS is committed to ethical practices in animal care and welfare, ensuring that all animals in our care are treated with respect and dignity.

With a dedicated team of professionals and passionate volunteers, RZSS continues to make significant strides in wildlife conservation. We invite everyone to join us in our mission to protect the planet’s precious wildlife for generations to come.
