Bristol Zoo's New Vision: Conservation & Larger Habitats
7 Sep
Summary
- Bristol Zoo Gardens closed in 2022 due to site size limitations.
- A new vision focuses on conservation, education, and larger habitats.
- The Travel Show explores the new African Forest Habitat and gorillas' home.

Bristol Zoo Project has unveiled a new vision for wildlife conservation and education, following the closure of Bristol Zoo Gardens in 2022. The original 12-acre site was deemed too small to meet contemporary animal welfare standards. This led to a strategic shift, prioritizing larger, more naturalistic habitats for animals.
The organization's renewed focus is on conservation efforts and educational outreach. Recent coverage highlighted the completion of the new African Forest Habitat. This significant development provides an expansive new home for its inhabitants, including a visit to the gorillas' updated living quarters.
