"The new wildlife health centre will deliver expert care to the zoo's animals while also supporting the Zoological Society's research and conservation efforts, from monitoring emerging diseases in the wild to strengthening early warning systems that could prevent the next pandemic."
"Visitors to the centre will be able to watch live procedures, which could include everything from penguin health checks to frog x-rays and dolphin autopsies, making it a perfect day out for any wannabe vets."
"ZSL's Head of Wildlife Health Services, Dr Amanda Guthrie, stated that it will be a 'state-of-the-art facility' providing more space and new equipment for ZSL's veterinary team and trainees."
"Kathryn England, chief executive of ZSL, emphasized the organization's commitment to growing understanding of wildlife and taking people on that journey, evolving from studying wildlife to conserving it and fighting for it."
ZSL is celebrating its 200th anniversary by unveiling plans for a new wildlife health centre funded by a £20 million donation. This centre will provide expert veterinary care and support research and conservation efforts. Visitors will have the opportunity to observe live veterinary procedures, enhancing public engagement with wildlife health. The facility will feature advanced equipment and teaching capabilities for wildlife vets. The exact location is still under consideration as plans are in early stages.
