Helping halt species decline
Newquay Zoo is part of Wild Planet Trust, a conservation charity working internationally to achieve our mission of helping halt species decline.
We believe that conservation is something that everyone can be involved with and that together we can all make a difference to live more sustainably with nature.
About us
Wild Planet Trust was established in 2019, however our work as a registered education, scientific and conservation charity goes back to 1957, with the formation of the Herbert Whitley Trust (later to become the Whitley Wildlife Conservation Trust).
Our projects
We are working on projects in both the UK and abroad to support endangered species and the habitats that they live in.
Get involved
There are lots of ways to get involved with Wild Planet Trust and help halt species decline. By taking part in our projects and activities, you’ll be helping to save wildlife.
Sustainable Palm Oil
Newquay Zoo is working in collaboration with local organisations and businesses to try to make Newquay a Sustainable Palm Oil Community. We are advocating for certified sustainable palm oil that is grown in a way that protects rainforests and prevents further deforestation.
Science & research
We coordinate scientific research in our zoos, nature reserves and in the areas where our international partners are based. We see these as amazing wild laboratories in which everyone can learn and discover.
