How Does it Work ?
Project Packages
Some of our projects are linked and rely on each other for funding or logistical components whereas many of our Conservation Projects are standalone and can be delivered for under £2000.
All of our partners will receive the following:
• A bespoke poster explaining the work that you have funded.
• Attendance by one of the Zoo and Wildlife Conservation Team at your facility for a presentation on the project – this can be a staff event, a workshop or an exclusive member event.
• A six-monthly report on the work of the project.
• Social media content and materials for you to promote the project and work.
Branded products to advertise and communicate our work together.
