The new science centre will play ‘significant role' in the conservation of the world's most threatened species
A new science centre which will play a “significant role” in the conservation of the world’s most threatened species has opened at Chester Zoo. The new International Centre for Zoo Science will enable researchers to study some of the world’s most threatened species, and support conservationists and scientists to fight the global extinction crisis.
And at a time when species face extinction on an unimaginable scale, we’re already making a substantial contribution to the task of preventing extinction and restoring biodiversity. “Our research has led to direct improvements to the reproductive performance of highly threatened mammals such as black rhino and okapi, re-energising international conservation breeding programmes which are vital back-ups to fragile wild populations and informing vital conservation work in the field in Africa.
