Fundraising for Action for the Wild!
In recent years, Colchester Zoo’s charity Action for the Wild has donated millions to conservation projects around the world. We cannot continue to support these projects without the generous donations and fundraising activities by our supporters.
Action for the Wild donates to projects associated with Colchester Zoo’s animal collection, whether it’s the development of new exhibits or new species arrivals. Funds have also helped with the set up and the continuous running of the UmPhafa Nature Reserve in South Africa. The reserve was set up to recreate the habitat and species present on the area, which were wiped out by the previous farming techniques. With help from Action for the Wild a release programme has been established on UmPhafa; releasing species that were once native back into this area.
Fundraising is a fantastic way of bringing people together to raise money and awareness about the natural world. The money raised will go directly towards Action for the Wild projects or the UmPhafa Nature Reserve, and will allow us to continue our important work.
