Chester Zoo takes strides for sustainability

Our world is undergoing rapid and catastrophic environmental change brought about by the unsustainable exploitation of the planet’s resources. Chester Zoo’s mission is to prevent extinction – creating meaningful connections between our work, our visitors and between nature and humans. We are passionate about creating a future where nature can survive and thrive.

As part of our mission to prevent extinction, our strategy must include measures that can reduce the global threats to ecosystems presented by climate change, waste pollution and the over exploitation of natural resources. Chester Zoo is committed to improving sustainability across all its activities.

Some of the energy solutions we’re investing in are solar PV and heat pumps and, in the last 12 months, we’ve adopted these measures at The Square (our events venue), our new Conservation Education Hub and our Rhino Houses, showcasing climate action across the breadth of our operations.
