Meet some of the animals we help

Over the last 20 years, we have helped to double numbers of Bengal tigers across Nepal and India, with the population continuing to grow.

Forest elephants are critically endangered. We're helping protect them by fighting poaching and preserving their habitats.

Since 2004 we’ve been protecting the marine animals that call the River Thames home, from seals to seabass, sharks and even seahorses!

We’ve helped to reintroduce over 1,000 hazel dormice back to hedgerows and woodlands across the UK.

In 2024, we helped release the extinct-in-the-wild sihek back into the wild for the first time since the 1980s.

A pangolin is poached every five minutes. Our science-led conservation work is leading the fight to save these shy and threatened animals.

The generosity of Wildlife Winners Lottery players helps us deliver exceptional care for the animals at London and Whipsnade Zoos - from advanced veterinary procedures to daily enrichment created by our keepers. Every contribution helps.

Angela Ryan, Head of Zoological Operations

I think the work that ZSL does for wildlife is so important. Not only with the big cats and well-known animals in their zoos, but also for the lesser-known animals that really need help. I’m proud to support them.
