Drusillas Conservation in Action

Where wildlife thrives

Drusillas Conservation in Action Charity

As our world changes and the delicate balance of our ecosystems teeter on the edge, the imperative to conserve and protect our planet's biodiversity has never been more urgent. 

Our Vision

A world where wildlife thrives and nature is preserved 

Our Mission

To use our position of influence for meaningful change with outcomes that contribute to species survival and habitat restoration

What does the charity do?

The object of Drusillas Conservation in Action is to promote, for the benefit of the public, the conservation of wildlife across the world through the provision of grants to conservation charities and other organisations. Drusillas Conservation in Action works closely with Drusillas Zoo Park.

Fundraising

Drusillas Zoo Park supports the Charity by bolstering the support of their visitors, members, followers, and friends, fundraising will form a key part of the contribution towards the central Charity fund, which will be used to finance a range of conservation and research activities.

Halting Species Extinction

Drusillas Zoo Park are part of the European Ex situ Programme (EEPs) where they hold and breed threatened species to bolster their populations. 50% of Drusillas species are part of carefully managed breeding programs to ensure healthy ex situ populations thrive in our care. They are part of 24 EEPs that include some of the most threatened species in the world.
