Cotswold Wildlife Park is one of the largest zoological collections in the UK, with over 1,500 animals from 250 different species, set in 160 acres of beautiful parkland with plenty of space to enjoy nature.

As well as being an attraction loved and appreciated by millions of visitors since it officially opened in 1970, Cotswold Wildlife Park is heavily involved with a number of conservation programmes.

These include the White Stork Project (a pioneering scheme which aims to restore wild Stork populations to Britain) plus a number of conservation events throughout the year, including World Binturong Day and Lemur Week, both in May.

Then throughout August, the Park hosts Rhino Month to raise awareness and funds for Rhino conservation work in Africa. During Rhino Month, Cotswold Wildlife Park will be highlighting the plight of Rhinos in the wild and why conservation work is vital for their future.

The Park has raised over £120,000 for conservation in Africa in the last ten years through various fundraising events and works closely with the UK-based conservation charity Tusk Trust to protect Africa’s many threatened species.

As well as discovering more about these iconic animals, visitors will have the chance to win a Rhino Encounter during Rhino Month. For more information, please follow the Park on social media or visit the website: www.cotswoldwildlifepark.co.uk.
