| EAZA Bushmeat Campaign |
| Every year Colchester Zoo's Action for the Wild runs a conservation campaign alongside many other European Zoos, they all aim to raise public awareness of critical conservation matters throughout the world. The 2001 campaign was The Campaign against the Bushmeat Trade. The aim of this campaign was to raise awareness of the increasing problem of the bushmeat trade in Africa, South America and parts of Asia. 158 European Zoos in 25 countries were involved in this campaign and it was our aim to raise over 1 million signatures. Collectively the campaign gathered 1.8 million signatures and these were presented to the European Parliament in Brussels on 6th November 2001. Since that time, legislation is now being put into place to halt the trade. |
