Research Projects

Sharing our Knowledge and Expertise

Our research provides evidence that enables us to enhance the health and welfare of managed populations. Our goal is to provide safe havens for animal and plant species – both captive and wild.

Our work is focused on assessing animal welfare and other areas of interest that help us to promote high welfare standards, enhance habitats, and monitor native species.

We also work to evaluate visitor experiences, measuring how our actions help to influence people’s attitudes and behaviour around issues such as the use of sustainable palm oil and the conservation of seagrass in Tor Bay.
