We always like forming new relationships and these three all have meaning for us:
Bristol Zoo Gardens is so much more than a visitor attraction; we’re also a leading conservation and education charity.
We are involved in a growing number of field conservation projects, working directly to safeguard threatened plants, animals and habitats. Projects range from breeding programmes in the Zoo to conserving species in the wild such as the native White Clawed crayfish, to the lemurs of Madagascar and orphaned gorillas in Cameroon. Gorillas are a critically endangered species and the gorilla sanctuary we support in Cameroon provides a safe haven for young gorillas that have been orphaned by the bushmeat trade. It costs over £100 to provide one month’s supply of leaves to a gorilla at our primate rescue centre in Cameroon.
One of our successful conservation breeding programmes has been the recent birth of twin asiatic lion cubs to first time mum Shiva and dad Kamal. Asiatic lions are a critically endangered species and to protect them from extinction Bristol Zoo is participating in an
internationally co-ordinated breeding programme. It costs over £700 per month to enable us to participate in these breeding programmes.

Bristol Zoo Gardens is an institution to us. Many Greensource staff are members of the Zoo and this new partnership coincides with the Zoos 175 anniversary. Being local means a lot to us, as does the philosophy the Zoo maintains in its care of the animals, support of projects overseas and its education programmes.
Respect for Animals campaigns against the cruel and unnecessary international fur trade, believing fur farming and trapping to be morally indefensible.
Every year 75 million animals are killed solely for their fur, a product that no one needs. Animals are farmed in factory conditions or trapped and brutally killed in the wild.
Respect for Animals undertakes education, research and lobbying for the benefit of animals, campaigning against the fur trade for many years. Our research and educational programmes have lead to a drastic decline in fur sales in the UK but fur wearing remains as popular as ever elsewhere in the world.
