Celebrate 200 Years of Wildlife and Wonder
For 200 years, ZSL has been at the forefront of wildlife conservation, pioneering science, and unforgettable experiences with animals from around the world.
As the international conservation charity behind London Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo, ZSL has spent two centuries protecting endangered species, advancing global conservation, and inspiring generations to care for the natural world.
From introducing words like “zoo”, “aquarium” and even “jumbo” into everyday life, to leading vital conservation work across the globe, ZSL’s impact reaches far beyond its Zoos.
This year, be part of an extraordinary milestone. Visit London Zoo or Whipsnade Zoo and join the celebrations as ZSL marks 200 years of wildlife, wonder, and world-changing conservation.
