We've had an amazing autumn welcoming dinosaurs and megabeasts of all
shapes and sizes to your three zoos. If you haven't had a chance to see the
exciting exhibitions, there is still time – Dinosaurs will be open throughout
the winter school holidays until July 14. Thinking about the past and our
prehistoric ancestors has also given us an opportunity to consider our
impact on our environment and the future of wildlife. Over the next few
months, we will be finalising the next phase of our five-year Conservation
Masterplan. This document will be our guiding light to saving the critical
species in our care and I can't wait to bring you more information on this in
the coming months.
