Rodbaston Animal Zone is home to around 600 animals from over 140 species many of which are endangered in the wild and are part of conservation breeding programmes.
European Endangered Species Programmes (EEP) and the European Studbooks (ESB) aim at conserving healthy populations of animals, while safeguarding the genetic health of the animals under our care.
At the Animal Zone we currently take part in several EEPs, with some of these species including:
- Cotton Top Tamarins, Saguinus oedipus
- Pygmy Slow Loris, Nycticebus pygmaeus
- Ecuadorian Amazon Parrot, Amazona lilacina
- Red Ruffed Lemur, Varecia rubra
- Black Lemur, Eulemur macaco
At Rodbaston Animal Zone we also support several field projects working to preserve animals in their natural environment.
By raising funds and public awareness, we are helping to save wildlife both globally, and closer to home.
